740-th anti-aircraft missile regiment, equipped with air defense systems "Osa-AKM" on anxiety moved to a new positional area, set up a field camp and rose to combat duty.
During combat, we receive target designation from the battalion command center. The actions of the enemy imitate airplanes and helicopters of the Air Force and air defense units. Making sure that the intruder is really in the sky, the calculation of the anti-aircraft missile complex proceeds to its conditional destruction: all the same actions are performed as in combat shooting, only without starting. My guys are well trained, constantly engaged in simulators and military equipment. I am sure of them, because everyone understands that the final assessment of the regiment will depend on joint concerted and skillful actions.
