TSAMTO, January 17. Last year, the crews of the army aviation Association of the Air Force and Air Defense of the Eastern Military District on Mi-8AMTSh and Mi-26 helicopters performed tasks in the Russian Arctic zone.
Military pilots carried out the delivery of personnel, food, fuel, and materiel to radar units on Wrangel Island and Cape Otto Schmidt.
Solving problems was complicated by the harsh conditions of this winter with strong winds and very low temperatures.
This year, the crews of Mi-8AMTSh and Mi-26 helicopters plan to transport various cargoes exceeding the volumes of the previous year, the press service of the Eastern Military District reports.
