Important role in testing in Bastian missile system

Russia’s missile test was part of Pacific Fleet’s large command exercise, in which the Bastian missile system also played an important role. Actually, Onix missile is launched only with Bastian-P or Bal-E-Ee Missile System. It is a mobile coastal defense system, designed to combat sea hazards from the coast. Through this, the enemy’s sea ships can be submerged by a lot of distance.
