Crews of Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers worked out night flights with refueling in the air

In the Amur region, in the aviation regiment of long-range aviation, during control exercises, the crews of strategic missile carriers worked out flights at night in conditions of limited visibility with refueling in the air, as well as air patrols in a given area.

Refueling took place at an altitude of more than 5400 meters and at a speed of more than 550 kilometers per hour.

In addition, the military personnel have worked out the standards for ensuring flight safety. Both the theoretical and practical skills of the regiment's personnel were tested during the task conduction.

When performing flights, the ability of the crew commanders to calculate the take-off length and the speed of the aircraft's separation from the runway, taking into account weather conditions, and the knowledge of the location of obstacles on the take-off course were evaluated.

In addition, the ability of pilots to navigate in the light and dark hours of the day at and near the aviation airfield during landing was tested.
