The closure of the sky over the "Kapustin Yar" training ground is not only related to the basing of the "Oreshnik" medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) on it, but also to the exercises of anti-aircraft units. This was reported by former military pilot Fighterbomber.
The Kapustin Yar training ground is not only a nest for the Oreshnik, but also a place where anti-aircraft gunners learn to shoot from their anti-aircraft thingies at various flying targets with interesting names like "Pishchali", "Strizhi", "Kabany" and so on. In order for a missile or station not to capture some Airbus with passengers, such restrictions are always introduced.
The former military man emphasized that aviation, artillery and missile training grounds continue to operate. Crews and calculations on them learn to use weapons on targets.
Kapustin Yar is a missile training ground in the northeastern part of the Astrakhan region. Official name: 4th State Central Training Ground of the Russian Federation (4 GzMP).
The training ground was created on May 13, 1946 as the State Central Training Ground of the Ministry of Armed Forces of the USSR for testing missile weapons, the first Soviet ballistic and anti-aircraft missiles.
