A flight tactical exercise for the fighter aircraft launched in three regions of the Eastern Siberia and Far East, Western MD.

It is the first time the practical part of the exercise will include bombing by the Su-35 fighters, deployed in the Khabarovsk Krai. The bombing will target at simulated armored convoys at one of the ranges on the Sakhalin Island.

At the same time within the combat training, several Su-35 and Su-35SM redeployed covering 2,000 km to one of the Eastern MD airfield in Zabaykalsky Krai.

Moreover, the pilots of fighter jets will practise group take-off and landing at air base, passing a simulated hostile air defence zone, and air combat elements at various altitudes.
