Moscow. May 13. INTERFAX-At the Kapustin Yar test site, the modernization of the measuring complex for testing various types of weapons has been completed, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"The test site is not only completely re-equipped with modern measuring equipment, but also a system of information and measurement support for tests has been created, which allows providing reportage and reference and analytical information about the course of pre-launch training, launch and flight of the missile in real time to the Central Command Post of the Strategic Missile Forces," the ministry said in a statement.
