Then the calculations of the launch batteries in the positional area reloaded the missiles on the transport-loading vehicles, and the crews of the control batteries deployed the self-propelled command post of the communication control "Mineral"to the combat position, after which they performed combat tracking of the surface situation in the Caspian Sea.

The military also carried out measures to support the Marine artillery batteries and provided anti-amphibious defense of the coast.
