About 50 people and 10 pieces of equipment were involved in the exercises KALININGRAD, August 23.
/tass/. Calculations of the Bastion complexes of the coastal missile unit of the Baltic naval base of the Baltic Fleet, as part of a planned exercise, have worked out tactics for launching missile strikes against a detachment of warships of a conditional enemy in the sea area off the Kaliningrad coast, the press service of the fleet reported on Tuesday.
"The destruction of the ships of the conditional enemy in the Baltic Sea by the Bastion complexes was carried out by the servicemen of the coastal missile connection of the Baltic Naval base at one of the landfills on the coast of the Kaliningrad region. Calculations of the Bastion anti-ship complexes conducted electronic launches with Onyx anti-ship missiles at conditional targets simulating the grouping of enemy ships," the press service said, noting that mobile launchers made a march to a given area, where they were immediately deployed in pre-equipped positions.
In accordance with the instructions received, the rocket men performed electronic missile launches on a detachment of ships of a conditional enemy, and then secretly changed their firing position.
"About 50 servicemen and up to 10 pieces of equipment were involved in the exercise," the press service said, noting that the calculations of the coastal anti-ship complexes "Bastion" of the Baltic Fleet are constantly on combat duty to protect and defend the coast of the region and the exclusive economic zone of Russia in the Kaliningrad direction.
The Bastion anti-ship missile system was developed by NPO Mashinostroenie in two versions - the mobile Bastion-P and the stationary Bastion-S. The complex is equipped with a supersonic homing anti-ship missile "Onyx". Bastion is designed to protect the sea coast with a length of over 600 km and defeat surface ships of various classes and types operating as part of amphibious formations, convoys, ship and aircraft carrier strike groups, as well as single ships and ground-based radio-contrast targets in conditions of intense fire and electronic countermeasures.
