History

edit

in the spring of 2014, it was the established as the 28th Separate Division of Emergency Rescue Vessels at the Sevastopol Naval Base before its takeover by Russia.

On March 21, 2014, during the takeover by Russia the regiment's ships Borscht,[1] Romny,[2] Tokmak,[3][4] Sokal, Shostka,[5] Zolotonosha[6] and Izyaslav[7] and the Ukrainian flags were replaced by the tricolor of the Russian Federation and the St. Andrew's flag of Black Sea Fleet. The vessels were returned to Ukraine in the coming months. [a]

On June 5, 2020, the ship Oleksandr Okhrimenko participated in the test of Neptune land-based cruise missile complex in a designated area of the Black Sea performing the tasks of the closure of the area, the establishment of the target area, search and rescue and medical support during the sea trials.[10]

In 2022, during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, the division's ship Balta equipped with high caliber weapons was involved in the Defense of Odessa from Russian naval assaults.[11] Moreover, during a naval engagement, the division's ship Pochayiv managed to force the newest Russian frigate Admiral Makarov to retreat. Admiral Makarov opened fire on Pochayiv using its 100-mm but missed the targets due to its careful maneuvering. Admiral Makarov was much larger and better equipped but the crew of Pochayiv lured it into the range of Ukrainian coastal artillery forcing it to retreat to Sevastopol.[12][13]
