The Project 12341 small missile ship Rassvet fired artillery systems and an Osa-MA (NATO reporting name: SA-8 Gecko) air defense missile complex during the maneuvers, the press office added.

"Combat teams operating an AK-176 76mm artillery system have conducted a live-firing exercise to hit a horizontally flying objective and aerial targets imitating a simulated enemy’s aircraft," the press office said.

"Servicemen operating an AK-630 rapid-firing small-caliber antiaircraft artillery system have practiced providing air defense in the nearest area," the press office added.

The Project 12341 small missile ship Rassvet used an upgraded Osa-MA air defense missile system to hit a simulated aerial target. The Osa-MA air defense missile system can hit aerial targets at latitudes of up to 4 kilometers (2.5 miles).
The ship’s crew also practiced cohesion with the main command post and the combat information center while maneuvering in complex weather conditions.
The Project 12341 small missile ship Rassvet is designed to fight the enemy’s ships at inland seas and in the nearest ocean zone.
The Project 12341 small missile ship is armed with six Malakhit anti-ship cruise missiles, AK-176 and AK-630 artillery systems, an Osa-MA air defense missile system and electronic equipment.
