05.07.2023

Flight and tactical exercises of long-range aviation crews using Tu-160 and Tu-95ms aircraft have started in Irkutsk and Murmansk regions.

Long-range aviation crews will practise aerial patrolling in a given area, flight tasks along a route in various meteorological conditions, and perform tactical launches of aerial weapons against established targets at training grounds.

In addition, during the exercises, the aviation regiments' support units will carry out standards on the deployment of task forces and reserve command posts, engineering equipment and camouflage of positions for work in the field.

Particular attention will be paid to the time taken by the airfield support battalion to carry out its task of promptly restoring the airfield in the event of its destruction by enemy sabotage groups.
