Yerevan /Mediamax/. Since early 2014, the pilots of Russian military air base in Armenia have conducted about 150 training flights.

“The average flying time of each pilot made about 15 hours which is 15% more than the one in the same period of 2013”, the press service of the South Military District of Russian Armed Forces reported.

The training of the aircrew of MiG-29 fighters of 4+generation is mainly focused on development of piloting technique in case of low clouds and fogs at low altitudes.

The method of the so-called air duels during which pilots detect and capture targets and fix their conventional destruction through photo control devices is actively applied.

Since early 2014, the pilots of MiG-29 fighters have conducted over 50 maneuver air combat trainings in Armenia.
