The Russian military is to test its new mobile communications system, which is superior to its foreign alternatives, during the Vostok-2014 strategic exercise in Russia’s Eastern Military District, the Defense Ministry announced.

“In the course of the Vostok-2014 strategic exercise, which will be conducted in September of this year in the Eastern Military District, communications specialists will test the newest communications control system through a Tiger light-armored vehicle. The new system is able to provide all types of communications, including radio, satellite, wire and relay. It’s really a mini communications hub, superior to alternatives used in foreign Armies,” stated the Ministry.

This year, the district has already received medium-range digital radios and ten comprehensive communications units.

The Defense Ministry stated the exercise would emphasize the coordinated strategy and tactical cooperation of units involved in military missions.
