military base in Armenia held a training session without live
firing on repelling attacks of single and multiple air targets of an
imaginary enemy, as well as support of flights of their own aircraft,
News-Armenia wrote referring to the press service of the Southern
Military District.
The training was held in Kamhud highland training center.
"In general 100 servicemen and dozens of weapons and military equipment
were involved in the training. During the event they worked out
gaining and masking positions, organization of communication systems
and governance in mountain terrain conditions, bringing the equipment
from the marching to combat order. They also worked out on detection
and extermination of a conditional enemy.
During the exercise, the anti-aircraft gunners implemented regulations
on transfer of units into different degrees of readiness, loading
and unloading of launchers by anti-aircraft guided missiles, testing
functional control of equipment.
More than 40 different tasks were worked out during the training,
and over 30 air targets discovered, accompanied and conditionally
destroyed.
"Battery tactical exercises, including crediting target practice
and combat coordination await the anti-aircraft gunners. During the
second half of April, air defence experts will participate in special
tactical exercises with live fire at the interspecific firing ground
Kapustin Yar (the Astrakhan region)," according to the press-service.
In the 2012 academic year, the personnel of the air defence units
of the Russian military base in Armenia held more than 800 training
sessions and performed nearly 150 combat shootings and crediting
target practice.
