In total, during the training in the Kostroma region, more than 650 parachute jumps from the IL-76MD were made.
"The interval of separation of personnel from the aircraft during the landing was 0.7 seconds at an aircraft speed of more than 360 km / h," the ministry said under the video posted on YouTube.
