SAF members successful at helicopter exercise in Hungary
A multinational helicopter exercise, Fire Blade 2025, which involved members of the Serbian Armed Forces and military personnel from six other European countries, ended today at the Pápa Air Base in Hungary.

The exercise scenario included planning and carrying out flight missions involving navigation flight, helicopter airlift, landing troops and cargo, tasks that are part of helicopter operations in urban environments, combat search and rescue, direct support to ground forces, convoy escort and protection, as well as manoeuvres performed while under fire from enemy fighter aircraft and air-defence units.

The host of the exercise was the Multinational Helicopter Training Centre, which was founded by 14 EU members and partner countries, including the Republic of Serbia. Participation in the work of the Multinational Helicopter Training Centre and its exercises helps SAF helicopter crews to improve their skills and interoperability, as well as their ability to engage in helicopter operations in the contemporary operational environment.
