In Kamchatka, naval aviation crews of the Pacific Fleet conducted exercises on the emergency withdrawal of helicopters from a simulated enemy attack and relocation to a reserve site. The training involved about ten crews of a mixed aviation regiment with Ka-27, Ka-29, and Mi-8 helicopters.
The pilots performed a mass take-off from the main airfield and carried out a squadron flight to a backup airfield located at a significant distance.
During the route, the helicopters practiced complex maneuvers, group interaction, and flight tasks in conditions close to combat. Under the cover of the Ka-29, the Mi-8 landed first, deploying a support group to secure the landing zone for the remaining aircraft.
After the flight, engineers and logistics services quickly camouflaged the equipment, performed field maintenance, and organized the delivery of fuel and necessary materials for the squadron's operations at the new location.
The fleet's press service noted that such training enhances the readiness of naval aviation for operations in real conditions.
