Young pilots of the army aviation of the Erebuni air base in Armenia worked out the relocation to the Shirak reserve airfield in the Gyumri military garrison during the flight tasks.

After loading the ammunition, the crews of the Mi-8MTV assault helicopters took off, overcame the air defence system at extremely low altitude, launched guided missiles and fired aircraft guns at targets at the Baghramyan Air Defencerange.
