Helicopter crews of Admiral Gorshkov frigate make flights in Atlantic
03.06.2024
The Ka-27 helicopter of the frigate Admiral of the Soviet Union of Gorshkov flew reconnaissance sorties in the Atlantic Ocean.
During the day flight shift, they conducted reconnaissance to discover the air and surface conditions along the frigate's passage route. During the flights, foreign ships and vessels were detected; the Russian pilots identified them, their motion features, course, and speed. This information was transmitted to the frigate.
The flights took place at a distance of up to 200 kilometres from the Northern Fleet's ships and at an altitude of up to 1,000 metres.
Also during the flight shift, the crew carried out take-off and landings on the frigate's helicopter pad, in order to maintain the proficiency level of the crew.
The helicopter crews showed high skill and ability to competently analyse information from helicopter and ship navigation devices.
Flights were preceded by thorough preparation, which checked the readiness of engineers and specialists to provide the missions.
The Northern Fleet's crew, led by the frigate Admiral Gorshkov, is currently engaged in long-range missions in the Atlantic Ocean. The Fleet's detachment embarked on another long-range mission on 17 May.
The main tasks of the mission are to demonstrate the flag and ensure a naval presence in important areas of the far ocean zone.
