BALTIC SEA - The embarked MH-60 Seahawk Helicopter (RAIDER) of Standing NATO Maritime Group One (SNMG1) ship HDMS Absalon participates in a Naval Gunnery Support (NGS) training serial in the Baltic Sea on June 12, 2021 during Exercise BALTOPS 50. SNMG1 Flagship HMCS Halifax can also be seen in the background of the image. RAIDER acted as a spotter for HDMS Absalon 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.
