Su-25SM assault aircraft of an air formation stationed in Kuban in Southern Military District, trained to deliver strikes on target airfields of the mock enemy as part of flight and squadron.

During tactical missions, pilots trained to covertly overwhelm air defence of a mock enemy in a steppe and mountain-wooded area, as well as to conduct a sudden attack on targets.

Aircraft approached targets at low altitudes outside air defence detection zone by anti-aircraft maneuvering.

When defeating ground objects, pilots simulated the use of the full range of aviation weapons depending on the nature of the target.

Besides, the aircraft fired guided and non-guided missiles at targets placed in line of sight and at specified coordinates.

More than 200 servicemen of flight and engineering staff, as well as about 20 Su-25SM attack aircraft were involved in the drills.
