MOSCOW (BNS): Russia's Central Military District has successfully carried out live-firing of Iskander-M operational-tactical missile systems in the Orenburg region, a Tass report said.

"After live-firing at the Totsky range, Iskander-M operators delivered a preemptive strike on tactical missile systems and other remote targets that determine the imaginary enemy's military potential," Yaroslav Roschupkin, Assistant to District's Commander Colonel, was quoted as saying.

Iskander-M is a version of the Iskander tactical missile system supplied to the Russian armed forces.

The complex comprises a launcher with two missiles, a missile-transporter loader, a command post vehicle, a technical maintenance vehicle, a set of arsenal equipment, a data processing unit, as well as training facilities. The system's firing range is up to 500 km.

A brigade of the Central Military District was earlier raised on alert for a snap check. More than 500 servicemen and 50 units of military equipment took part in the drills, the report said.
