Pilots practice at Pasuljanske livade

Members of the 714th antitank helicopter squadron, based at the airport "Ladjevci" in Kraljevo, at the mixed training ground "Pasuljanske livade" performed regular activities as part of training in planned rocket attack on ground targets, which represents the final level of combat training of antitank helicopter pilots. Exercise was led by the commander of the 714th antitank helicopter squadron Colonel Predrag Nikolic.

According to Lt. Col. Nikolic, at "Pasuljanske livade" mostly younger pilots who have not operated including experienced pilots, were trained to fire at targets in this training ground. Apart from them, the colleagues from 119th mixed helicopter squadron also underwent the training in attacking ground targets.

The effect on ground targets is performed in the formation of a "a pair of antitank helicopters," where the leaders of pairs are experienced pilots, colleagues from Nis, and the pilots of the 714th Squadron act as chaperons. Pilots then target with missiles immobile targets at a distance of 2,000 meters. In addition to regular flight training, included in the annual plan, we have the elements of combat training, which represent the culmination of actions in terms of living and a prerequisite for continued training at dusk or at dawn, the effect on the earth, especially armored targets, said Nikolic.

Anti tank helicopter squadron" Senke" carried out its tasks regularly following the program of combat training on an annual basis, and practice at the Pasuljanske livade is the culmination of training in living conditions, and a prerequisite for further training in night conditions .
