Pilots of the 4+ generation Su-30SM multirole fighters of the Baltic Fleet naval aviation used onboard weapons during combat training missions in the Kaliningrad region. This was reported by the press service of the Baltic Fleet.
The Su-30SM crews detected the ground situation and carried out targeted bombing of targets with P-50T bombs. The fighters also attacked targets from aircraft guns.
