In Kamchatka, fighter pilots of a separate mixed aviation regiment of Troops and forces in the North-East of Russia conducted training to intercept a simulated enemy aircraft.
The role of the intruder was performed by a MiG-31 fighter. At night, without responding to requests, he tried to approach the distance of launching missiles to strike important objects on the Peninsula.
A high-altitude fighter-interceptor MiG-31BM rose to intercept it from the Yelizovo airfield.
"The crew performed an independent search and classification of the target, and then made an electronic launch of long-range air - to-air missiles, "the press service of the VVO reports.
After completing the main task, the pilots practiced piloting in the clouds and landing on instruments in difficult weather conditions.
