| "During the sortie, the crews of the destroyer Bystry and a missile boat strike group, consisting of the missile boats R-11 and R-18, launched missile strikes against sea targets which simulated enemy ships. Shields anchored at a considerable distance from the ships were used as targets. The crews fired the Moskit supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, the main strike weapon of the ships" he said. The missiles hit the assigned targets. Firing was conducted in an intense jamming environment with the simulated enemy using electronic countermeasures. © Copyright 2017 TASS. All rights reserved.
