The operation involved the crews of the Mi-24 attack helicopters, part of the naval aviation mixed helicopter regiment, conducting maneuvers in the Kaliningrad region and over the Baltic Sea.
The training activities included attacks on vehicle convoys, simulated enemy forces, as well as small, high-speed naval vessels. The crews practiced attack missions against these targets at distances ranging from 500 meters to three kilometers, flying at low and medium altitudes.
More than 10 crews participated in the operations, using a variety of aerial weaponry, including P-50T practice bombs, unguided missiles, and GSh-23 23mm automatic cannons. The pilots executed the missions both individually and in pairs, conducting coordinated attacks on land and sea.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the exercises enhanced the pilots’ training level, improving their combat skills and the tactics for using naval aviation in real operations.
These military activities are part of a series of strategic exercises aimed at demonstrating military power, in an effort to intimidate NATO and its allies, who continue to support Ukraine in the conflict against the Russian invasion.
