Air Defence radar unit, Eastern Military District, drilled detection of air targets using the new Sopka-2 radar array complex deployed on Wrangel Island.

Specialists performed missions to locate and identify coordinates of targets simulating enemy’s aircraft, as well as receive, process and analyse data on the air situation in the zone of responsibility.

In addition, servicemen improved their professional skills in using the modern system. Moreover, they received data transmitted by airborne responders on the aircraft. The servicemen also measured distance, azimuth and altitude of air targets.

The training was conducted within the 2017 control examination

Another 3 aircraft of this type were received by the airline this year from STLC.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
