The crews of the Mi-24 attack helicopters of the aviation unit of the Army aviation of the Eastern Military District (VVO), based in Transbaikalia, performed a cross change of positions and a sharp change of directions when conducting air combat at a minimum altitude of up to 200 meters.
The pilots performed the actions of conducting a simulated air battle with the execution of complex figures to conduct a repeated attack on the simulated enemy and exit the battle.
During the training flights, the helicopter crews also performed combat and forced turns, turn and turn "on the hill", dive with different pitch angles, and also as part of the flight worked out hovering over the ground and vertical landing at the minimum distance between the helicopters.
Performing aerobatics on a helicopter allows the crew to fully master aircraft technology, gain air combat skills, and better navigate by instruments.
During the event, up to 20 helicopter flights were carried out.
