As part of the «Zapad-2025» exercises, a division of the «Bal» coastal missile system of the Northern Fleet successfully attacked a sea target simulating a detachment of ships of a mock enemy. The strike was carried out using the «Uran» cruise missile, as reported by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
As part of the joint strategic exercise "Zapad-2025", a division of the "Bal" coastal missile system from the coastal missile formation of the Northern Fleet marched from its permanent deployment point to a designated area on the coast of the Rybachy Peninsula.
It is known that the «Bal» coastal missile system division operated in a complex jamming environment created by electronic warfare (EW) equipment of a mock enemy. The complex's crews demonstrated high resistance to EW effects and successfully completed the task of detecting, acquiring, and engaging the target.
In the positional area, the missilemen deployed the complex in the shortest possible time and practiced actions to detect sea targets. After receiving a signal to use missile weapons, the combat crew of the "Bal" coastal missile system fired an "Uran" anti-ship cruise missile at a target simulating a detachment of ships of a mock enemy
The «Bal» coastal missile system has been in service with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation since 2008. The complex, armed with Kh-35 anti-ship missiles, has received an updated navigation system. The BRC can fire both single missiles and salvos, launching up to 32 subsonic missiles. Its maximum firing range exceeds 120 kilometers.
