The crews of the Baltic Fleet’s Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jets destroyed a notional enemy’s aircraft in the skies over Russia’s westernmost Kaliningrad Region," the Fleet’s press office reported on Thursday. This reports by TASS.

"As part of planned training, the pilots of Su-27 fighter jets from a Baltic Fleet aviation unit practiced the elements of a dogfight with a notional enemy, and also the notional employment of air-launched weapons," the press office said.

Under the drills’ scenario, the notional enemy’s aircraft trespassed the state border of the Russian Federation and made an attempt to deliver a missile and bomb strike against strategically important military facilities at the places of the stationing of the Fleet’s forces.

Upon receiving a signal about the intrusion of unidentified aircraft into the country’s airspace, Su-27 fighters scrambled for interception. They detected the enemy planes and notionally destroyed them in a dogfight, making electronic launches of missiles against air targets.

The training involved about 10 crews of a fighter regiment from the Baltic Fleet’s naval aviation.

The crews of Su-27 fighter aircraft are on round-the-clock combat alert, protecting the airspace of the Kaliningrad Region, the Baltic Fleet’s press office said.
