The Royal Netherlands Navy operated together with the Belgian and Estonian navies as part of the "Sandy Coast 25" exercise.

The aim of this international exercise was not only to localise and dispose of war debris, but also to improve and strengthen cooperation between the allies, including the police and the Dutch coastguard. The focus here is on optimising coastal defence as well as testing...

Russian drone attack on Ukrainian naval unit For the first time in the chronology of the Ukrainian war, the Kiev Navy was attacked and heavily hit by a Russian surface drone (similar to the Ukrainian Magura V) on 28 August 2025. The incident occurred at night in the delta of the Danube estuary. An analysis identifies this location about 30 kilometres upstream (about 3 kilometres west of Wylkowe) on the Ukrainian side of the Danube - in the middle of the river just a few metres away is the NATO border with Romania! The medium-sized reconnaissance ship "Simferopol" (Project Laguna, 55 metres, 1,200 tonnes), built in Kiev according to the plans of the trawler type 502EM and not in service until 2021...

The positive signals from the submarine co-operation, which heralded a new era not only technically but also politically, gave rise to hope. The cooperation is also developing in an exemplary manner on a personal level. People like each other. But that has nothing to do with whether the product fits. And for the Norwegians, it does...
