Aug 30 (Interfax) - Amid the latest events in Afghanistan, Russian troops stationed in Tajikistan have held an exercise conducting electronic launches of an S-300 long-range air defense system upon five aerial targets of a simulated enemy, the Central Military District said on Monday.
"Crews of S-300PS air defense missile systems practiced repelling a simulated enemy's airstrike upon facilities of the 201st Military Base, hitting over five aerial targets during an exercise in Tajikistan," it said.
