Russia deploys most advanced air defenses at army drills 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseRussia showcased its most sophisticated air defense system on Wednesday, using it to repel a mock attack from the sky as part of what it describes as its largest-ever military drills. The wargames involved its state-of-the-art S-400, Russia’s latest generation surface-to-air defense system, which is considered by NATO countries to pose a threat to their aircraft. The exercise simulated a “massive missile attack” by an “unnamed enemy,” another military official Sergei Tikhonov said. Russia has said the Vostok-2018 maneuvers are the largest in its history and involve nearly 300,000 men and all types of military equipment.
