YENISEISK (Krasnoyarsk territory). June 6 (Interfax-AVN) - Russian Defense Minister Gen. of the Army Sergei Shoigu reviewed the performance of Voronezh-DM radar station crews near the city of Yeniseisk in the Krasnoyarsk territory on Tuesday.
An extremely complex environment in the radar's zone of responsibility was computer-modeled for training purposes.
The crews practiced detection, identification and locking of ballistic targets and space objects and preparation of missile warning reports for higher state and military command posts.
Shoigu was told that the Voronezh-DM radar crews undergo daily simulator training for professional development purposes. The crews were also trained to handle man-made emergencies.
The Voronezh-DM radar station began a trial run at the end of last year. It is due to be put on combat duty by the end of 2017.
