Piloting and engineering staff of the Western MD finished accepting the second batch of Su-35S newest fighters in the aviation plan located in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

The pilots are preparing to fly over 8,000 kilometers from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the airfield in Karelia. They are to arrive in the early December.

In-air refueling, radar navigation and life-support systems allow the newest fighters to perform training and combat tasks far away from the permanent location airfields.
