This is the moment Russia puts its missile defense system to the test successfully thwarting a simulated large-scale enemy aerial attack.
The military exercise was held at the Kapustin Yar range in the Astrakhan region in northern Russia and the footage of the drill was released by the Russian Ministry of Defense last Friday, 29th October.
The Ministry said in a statement on Thursday, 28th October, that the exercise involved the use of large-scale air-defense units and anti-aircraft missile systems at long, medium and short ranges.
A large scale simulated attack was neutralized by a layered air defence system made up of a variety of complexes including the S-300V4, Buk-M3 and Tor-M2.
The simulated attack came from high-speed missiles, cruise missiles and attack helicopters.
The footage shows the moment the various Russian weapons complexes respond to the threat and fire several rounds of anti-air missiles.
