During the all-Army competition for field training among the units of the military air defense named after Colonel General B. I. Dukhov, anti-aircraft gunners jointly hit high-speed air targets.

The senior anti-aircraft gunner and the anti-aircraft gunner of the Igla man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) department performed the task of combat shooting to search for and detect low-flying air targets (at altitudes of about 1.5 km, at a distance of up to 2 thousand meters). The speed of the targets reached 250-300 m / s.

In addition, the drivers of the MANPADS squad on the BTR-80 and BTR-82A overcame obstacles on rough terrain, the gunners performed firing exercises from a 7.62-mm PKT machine gun at a target simulating unmanned aerial vehicles.

In total, more than 100 military personnel take part in the competitions as part of 7 teams from military districts, Airborne troops, coastal troops of the Northern Fleet, as well as from the Military Academy of the Military Air Defense of the Russian Armed Forces named after Marshal of the Soviet Union A.M. Vasilevsky.

The team that demonstrated the best result will represent the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at the international competition "Clear Sky", which will be held in August in the People's Republic of China at the Korla training ground.
