The participation of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the planning, coordination, and management of the forces of the simulated enemy during the REPMUS/Dynamic Messenger 25 exercises in Portugal is a historic event for NATO.
These exercises were conducted taking into account current trends in naval warfare, particularly the use of unmanned systems for strikes and rapid response to threats. The operational structure of the Ukrainian Navy successfully interacted with partners and managed the forces of the simulated enemy, demonstrating its capabilities.
The exercises aimed to test the capabilities of NATO member countries and combined global events in maritime robotics with NATO operational exercises.
The participation in these exercises is an important step for the Ukrainian military in cooperation with NATO and enhancing the level of professionalism in the face of modern threats from potential adversaries at sea.
