The pilots practiced tasks of landing and taking off on limited sites, flights along specified routes.
The military paid special attention to performing flights in the "stealth" mode — with the lighting devices and external identification signals turned off.
The new "eights" can be equipped with additional fuel tanks with a capacity of 915 liters, which allows them to cover long distances without refueling — up to 1,050 km.
Multipurpose Mi-8MTVs are capable of transporting cargo weighing up to 4 tons, and the vehicles are also equipped with medical modules if necessary.
Earlier www1.ru reported that specialists turned a kamikaze drone into a missile, accelerating it to 280 km/h.
