Flight training of combat helicopter crews
Members of the Anti-Armour Helicopter Squadron of the 98th Air Brigade, equipped with Mi-35 and Gamma combat helicopters, are conducting intensive flight training at the Morava Air Base and in the wider Kraljevo area.
The purpose of the training is to maintain and enhance the proficiency of pilots and technical personnel in performing flight missions and using these aircraft types in combat operations.In accordance with the training plan, this stage focuses on formation flying carried out in both favourable and complex weather conditions. The crews are practising tactics and techniques for formation takeoffs and landings on unprepared terrain, as well as carrying out manoeuvres as part of a helicopter squadron.
In parallel, technical personnel of all specialties are practising preparatory and pre-flight procedures, such as detailed helicopter airworthiness inspections, including checks of helicopter engines, radio-navigation systems and weapons.The next stage includes combat training with live-fire exercises engaging ground targets, which will round off this training cycle.
The Anti-Armour Helicopter Squadron, stationed at the Morava Air Base in Lađevci, is tasked primarily with providing air support to ground troops and special forces during combat missions.
