Artillery units of the Russian military base in Armenia will conduct
field exercises at the Alagyaz high-mountain training complex, the
press service of the Southern Military District told TASS on Wednesday.
The exercises at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters above sea level
will last until the end of March. They involve about 400 troops. Half
of the drills will be conducted at night.
"Within a month's training course the artillerists will have tactical,
special and technical drills, as well as modern military vehicle
driving practice, firing operations and weapons fire control. The
drills involve the Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers, Grad multiple
launch rocket systems, Podnos mortars and the Konkurs anti-tank missile
systems, as well as drones of the Navodchik-2 modern reconnaissance
systems, the Southern Military District sources said.
The artillery drills will be ended with tactical live firing exercises
on imaginary enemy's facilities and personnel targets in mountainous
terrain.
