Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:
As part of the launched maneuvers in the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation, a unified control system for the air defense duty forces has been formed. To recognize air targets, automatic control systems (ACS) are used, which allow, in the shortest possible time and with high efficiency, to bring the teams to destroy them to the calculation of fire weapons.
It was noted that in the course of the Kavkaz-2020 command and control command, interaction will be practiced, including when setting up radio-electronic interference.
The maneuvers are taking place at several ranges of the Southern Military District, including "Ashuluk", "Kapustin Yar", "Prudboy", "Kopanskaya", "Arzgirskiy", and the waters of the Caspian and the Black Sea.
