As part of the development of the Armed Forces’ communication system, new and modernised communications equipment and systems are being accepted for service and supply to the troops.

According to the conducted research, this equipment made a good showing, providing modern communication services to the military leadership both on the ground and on the move, with a serviceability factor of at least 98%.
As part of the development of the National Satellite Communications and Broadcast System, along with the BELINTERSAT-1 satellite communication stations already in use, a line of Voskhod satellite communication stations has been developed and is being successfully used by the signals troops during various operational and combat training activities.
