In the Novosibirsk region, where the missile division of the Strategic Missile Forces is currently undergoing exercises, the military widely uses unmanned aerial vehicles to protect the autonomous launchers of the Yars strategic complex, detect sabotage groups and conduct engineering and chemical reconnaissance.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that these maneuvers involve the use of a wide range of drones of various classes, including in low temperature conditions. Drones, in particular, help rocket scientists to find and destroy conditional saboteurs in the dark. To do this, the military uses UAVs included in the Typhoon-M combat anti-sabotage vehicles.
"During the exercise, strategic rocket scientists are working out the issues of bringing strategic complexes to field positions, making marches up to 100 kilometers long, dispersing units with changing field positions, their engineering equipment, organization of camouflage and combat security," the department noted. - A curfew service has been organized on the routes of movement of autonomous launchers, which is engaged in protecting the routes of movement of a column with large-sized equipment and monitors its passage through control points. And a special calculation monitors the radiation, chemical and biological situation."
At these exercises, the units will work out several dozen introductory exercises, including those aimed at studying the possibilities of maintaining the combat capability of mobile ground-based missile systems in various conditions. During the maneuvers in the Novosibirsk region, the command involved more than 100 pieces of equipment and about a thousand military personnel.
