Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Standing NATO Maritime Group One (SNMG1) ship HDMS Absalon fired its main gun during an Exercise BALTOPS 50 Naval Gunnery Support (NGS) training serial in the Baltic Sea on June 12, 2021. Absalon’s embarked MH-60 Seahawk Helicopter (RAIDER) acted as a spotter and coordinated the NGS fires with elements located ashore from enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Poland, enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Estonia, and the German 9th Panzer Division at the Putlos Training Area Range in Germany. NATO warships are highly skilled and experienced at joint warfighting operations and can be called upon to engage and if necessary, neutralize targets ashore with precise naval gunnery in support of amphibious or land forces operations. BALTOPS is an annual joint, multinational maritime-focused defence exercise designed to enhance interoperability, flexibility, and demonstrate resolve among Allied and partner forces to defend the Baltic Sea Region. It involves maritime and air forces, strengthening combined response capabilities necessary to ensure regional security and stability. (Photo courtesy HDMS Absalon)
