DUSHANBE, July 15. /TASS/. Personnel of the signal and electronic warfare units of Russia’s 201st military base stationed in Tajikistan have held a specialist arms tactical exercise to practice suppressing the command system of a mock enemy, the press service of the Central Military District reported.
The drills took place at the Lyaur mountain training range.
According to the exercise scenario, the Orlan-10 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) crews, having detected operation of a simulated enemy’s communication equipment and command posts during airborne reconnaissance in mountainous terrain, transmitted their coordinates to the command center. According to the report, the Borisoglebsk-2 systems’ crews promptly delivered electronic strikes, causing radio interference, which disrupted the "enemy" forces’ command and control and reduced its effectiveness. Military communications and electronic warfare specialists for their part ensured security of the Russian unit’s command, deploying in challenging mountainous conditions a multi-channel data transmission network using the R-149AKSh mobile stations and R-419L1 radio relay stations. To improve visibility in difficult terrain conditions, signalmen used the "reflected wave" method.
