ROSTOV-ON-DON, April
2. /TASS/. Over 50 battalion tactical groups of Russia’s Southern Military
District will practice fighting enemy drones jointly with electronic warfare
and air defense forces in drills, the District’s press office reported on
Friday.
"Over 50
battalion tactical groups and tactical groups of the branches of the Southern
Military District’s troops will practice interaction with electronic warfare
and air defense units during a control check for the purpose of defense against
unmanned aviation strikes," the press office said in a statement.
As the press office
of the Southern Military District specified for TASS, the drills involve 50
battalion groups numbering 15,000 personnel.
The drills will also
aim to assess the operations of the Southern Military District’s battalion
tactical groups during their marches to the areas of multiservice force
training grounds and command and control of attached army and assault aviation
forces, in particular, when motor rifle units accomplish their tasks as part of
a tactical airborne assault force, the statement says. As an important stage of
the control check, the troops will live-fire guns as part of reconnaissance and
fire systems. Tactical-level commanders will demonstrate their independence in
solving the general battle plan and the ability to make outpacing, unconventional
and surprise decisions for the enemy that allow seizing and retaining the
initiative in a battle, the press office said. "The control check of the
Southern Military District’s troops aims to raise the level of combat and
operational training and improve the methods and forms of conducting drills,
classes and exercises, taking into account the situation within the area of
responsibility," the statement says.
