Crews of the Bastion coastal defense missile systems (CDM, NATO codification "Stooge") practiced tactics for launching missile strikes against potential enemy ships in the Baltic Sea during exercises, the Baltic Fleet's press service reported.
As part of routine combat duty, Bastion CDM crews of the Baltic Fleet successfully conducted training on the Baltic Sea coast in the Kaliningrad Region.
The CDM crews marched to the deployment area, took up positions, received data on the enemy, and performed electronic missile launches at targets. The launches were carried out using modern technologies, which made it possible to assess the effectiveness of the complex's missiles in conditions close to combat.
