A new flight crew has begun to be formed for the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov". During training, pilots practice combat use against air and ground targets.
According to military expert Dmitry Boltenkov, the pilots who have replaced those who have retired do not have practical experience flying from an aircraft carrier.
The sharp braking of an aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier has a very strong effect on the eyes and back, and therefore they cannot fly for long.
The training of deck pilots is extremely complex, noted Honored Test Pilot, Hero of Russia Igor Malikov.
The ocean is an unoriented area, in fact you are constantly in difficult weather conditions. The ship is very small, you must definitely hit it. Fuel, oddly enough, starts to melt when you fly. Therefore, you must immediately land correctly on the ship. The distances are very small, you must definitely land in the place where the braking devices are located.
Currently, the "Admiral Kuznetsov" is under repair and modernization, after which its service life will be extended by 20 years. It was initially reported that the aircraft carrier would return to the Armed Forces in the first quarter of 2024.
