Frigates of the Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 in the Kiel naval base: Frigates are attacked in the Kiel Fjord during an exercise by soldiers from the Special Forces Command of the Navy (KSM).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the weekend, several NATO frigates from Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG 1) were guests at the naval base in Kiel. And on Monday (04\/03\/2023) the frigates had left the naval base in Kiel. On their way to the Baltic Sea they had to cross the Kiel Fjord. And here there was a little surprise for the frigates from Denmark, Spain, Poland, Portugal and Germany. Because soldiers of the KSM, that is the command of the special forces of the navy, expected the naval ships near the Friedrichsort lighthouse and on the opposite side of the fjord. Here the fjord is particularly narrow and therefore well suited for an exercise in which the frigates are attacked by speedboats. The crew of the frigates fired blank cartridges at the soldiers of the KSM, who simulated an attack on the passing naval ships with speedboats.<\/p>\n
