The Baltic Fleet's Iskander system trained in simulated missile strikes
As part of the combat training of the Baltic Fleet's forces in the Kaliningrad region, a simulated missile strike exercise was carried out with the Iskander operational and tactical missile complexes.
In the course of the exercise, the rocket launchers moved stealthily to the designated position area, where, having equipped launching positions, they carried out electronic single and group launches at targets simulating missile launchers, airfields, protected facilities, the concentration of military equipment and the command posts of the mock enemy.
After the electronic launches, in order to evade a possible retaliatory strike, the soldiers carried out a change of position manoeuvre.
In addition, combat crews of the fleet's missile unit practised operating in conditions of radiation and chemical contamination, as well as to repel an attack by sabotage and reconnaissance groups of a mock enemy. The combat training exercise focused on improving the cohesion of formations and units, the professional skills of personnel when moving into designated areas and the camouflage of combat vehicles.
In total, more than 100 military personnel and about 20 units of military and special equipment were involved in the episode of the exercise.
