“The Vasily Bykov patrol ship detected low-flying adversary targets advancing towards the Novorossiisk naval base,”

The patrol ship tracked the targets and automatically transmitted their data to the air defense command post.

The patrol ship and S-400 distributed the targets and jointly conducted simulated missile launches at the virtual targets.
