SEVASTOPOL, July 28.
/TASS/. The crews of fighter jets of the Southern Military District’s composite
air formation practiced an aerial battle and aerobatic maneuvers during drills,
the Black Sea Fleet’s press office reported on Tuesday.
"The training
flights in the stratosphere were performed by the crews of Su-27SM3 and Su-30M2
fighters from the Southern Military District’s air units stationed in the
Republic of Crimea and the Krasnodar Region. During the flights, the pilots
practiced searching for and detecting a notional enemy’s aircraft and
conducting an aerial battle at an altitude of 12-15 kilometers," the press
office said in a statement.
During the training
aerial battles, the fighters’ crews performed complex aerobatic maneuvers, the
statement says.
During the drills,
the pilots also practiced flight navigation, piloting along the designated
route and dodging a notional enemy’s air attack weapons, and also successfully
landed on a notionally destroyed runway. The crews performed all the exercises
both solely and as part of pairs, wings and groups, the press office said.
