Pilots of the MiG-31BM high-altitude supersonic interceptor fighters of the fighter aviation regiment of the Central Military District intercepted and conditionally destroyed high-precision weapons of a mock enemy during the first stage of a tactical flight exercise in the Krasnoyarsk territory.

During the tactical episode, crews of three types of radar stations Gamma, Terek and Cabina were involved, which performed the tasks of detecting and tracking conditional group targets of high-precision weapons of the mock enemy. The data on the targets were transferred to the crews of MiG-31BM interceptor fighters for further destruction. In total, about 8 group targets imitating cruise, anti-aircraft and aircraft guided missiles were detected and conditionally destroyed.

The next stage of the exercise will be the relocation of MiG-31BM interceptor fighters to the Republic of Buryatia, where they will perform combat launches of guided air-to-air missiles at single and group targets.

About 20 units of aviation equipment and about 800 military personnel from among the flight crew, combat crews of radar stations, engineering and technical personnel, flight control and support groups are involved in the tactical flight exercise.
