The crews of the Ka-52 Alligator, Mi-8 Terminator, Mi-24 Crocodile and Mi-28N Night Hunter of the Southern Military District participated in all-army stage of the Aviadarts 2019 competition.

During the sorties, the pilots hit the target, imitating a convoy of military equipment, a group of planes on the airfield and the command post of a mock enemy using unguided missiles and cannon armament.

The tasks were complicated by the fact that the pilots operated in the conditions of the sea coast, at an extremely low altitude.

In total, more than 10 crews of the army aviation of the Southern Military District were involved in combat shooting.

The all-army stage of the Aviadarts 2019 competition will end on June 8.
