Crews of the S-400 Triumph of the Western Military District during the exercise learned to destroy air targets
In the Leningrad region, a tactical exercise was held with the anti-aircraft missile division of the air defence division of the Leningrad air force and air defence army of the Western Military District.
The three-day tactical exercise was held in two stages. At the first stage, the measures of the plan for bringing a group of divisions to the highest level of combat readiness were worked out, as well as measures for preparing for combat operations within the positional area. At the second stage, the issues of conducting maneuverable anti-aircraft battles by units were worked out.
During the exercise, combat crews of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system marched to a temporary training position, overcoming rough terrain in the conditions of the action of reconnaissance and sabotage groups of the mock enemy, and also carried out a set of measures to disguise special equipment.
The servicemen also worked out the tasks of conducting anti-aircraft combat during the repulse of a massive missile air strike using the electronic launch of anti-aircraft guided missiles at an air mock enemy. The helicopters of a separate helicopter regiment of the formation acted as a mock enemy: multi-purpose Mi-8 helicopters, Mi - 28 Night Hunter reconnaissance and attack helicopters.
