During the planned tactical flight exercises, the crews worked out actions to destroy the sabotage and reconnaissance groups of a simulated enemy using aircraft weapons.

"My crew took off, went to the coastal zone, found a sabotage and reconnaissance group (DRG) and successfully destroyed it with small arms and cannon weapons," said the commander of the Ka-29 helicopter with the call sign Vulkan.

At the training ground in the coastal area, a pair of Ka-29 helicopters carried out firing practice on ground targets. The crews used 23 mm GSH-23L aviation cannons and 80 mm unguided aircraft missiles. Also, as part of the exercises, the pilots practiced piloting at low altitudes in difficult weather conditions and over undirected terrain in the Pacific Ocean.
