The electronic warfare units of the Russian military base in Abkhazia have neutralized the attack unmanned aerial vehicles of the imaginary enemy over the Black Sea. To eliminate the drones, the Krasukha and Zhitel electronic warfare systems were used.
About 1.5 thousand military personnel and more than 500 pieces of equipment were involved in the exercises.
"The personnel of the radar units on real targets completed the tasks of detecting unmanned aerial vehicles of a simulated enemy flying at minimum and medium altitudes in the Black Sea," the press service of the Southern Military District reported.
