The exercise includes
two regions in the Far East.
VLADIVOSTOK,
September 18. /TASS/. Massive tactical flight drills of a composite air force
of the Eastern Military District have started in two regions of the Far East.
They involve 30 planes. The scenario is based on the pilots' actions to destroy
militants in Syria, the Eastern Military District’s press service reported on
Wednesday.
"The crews of
the planes Su-35S, Su-34, Su-24M2, MiG-31, Su-30SM and Su-25SM of the aviation
regiments of the district stationed in the Khabarovsky and Primorsky regions
will carry out tactical flight tasks. <...> Up to 30 planes are involved
in carrying out the tactical flight exercise," the press service reported.
During the active
phase of the drills, the plane crews will improve their skills in performing
combat training missions as part of an aviation group. A live firing exercise
will take place at the end of the drills. Special attention is paid to the implementation
of new tactical methods relying on the experience gained through modern
conflicts. The pilots will launch unguided airborne rockets and drop bombs on
targets that simulate groups of manpower, equipment, fortification structures
and various "enemy" facilities.
