Teams from the Uragan double rocket launch system from the 201st Russian military base destroyed the enemy's notional position embedded during training in the mountains of Tajikistan, the Central Military District press office reported on Tuesday. Under the training scenario, the Orlan-10 unmanned aerial vehicle crew detects the location of weapons and enemy forces. They sent coordinates to the artillery battery command post where personnel prepared data to shoot at targets, the press office said in a statement.
"During the direct firing, the artillery crew destroyed isolated enemies and many targets, command posts and hiding places with volley fire at a distance of more than 20 km," the statement said.
After the artillery attack, the crew maneuvered to anti-fire: after changing the current and taking a new position, the battery struck the notional enemy artillery, which exposed its location with retaliatory fire, the press office said.
This exercise involved more than 500 personnel, the press office determined.
Russia's Central Military District is based on the integrated federal districts of Volga, Ural and Siberia and 29 Russian territories. Structurally, the Central Military District also includes several foreign facilities: the 201nd military base in Tajikistan, the integrated Kant military base in Kyrgyzstan and units stationed in the territory of Kazakhstan.
The 201nd military base located in Tajikistan is Russia's largest military facility outside its borders. Military bases are located in the cities of Dushanbe and Bokhtar. Military weapons bases include T-72 tanks, BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, Grad launch rocket systems, Gvozdika and Akatsiya artillery systems.
Under an agreement signed in October 2012, Russia's military base will remain in Tajikistan until 2042.
