As part of the reconnaissance and fire complex, sniper pairs armed with high-powered ASVK-M rifles also operated.

The exercise took place within the framework of a bilateral command and staff exercise (KSHU) for command and control of the district's troops in the South-Western strategic direction under the leadership of the commander of the Southern Military District, Army General Alexander Dvornikov.
