Special thanks to the press club of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, the assistant to the commander of the airbase, Major D.A. Kositsky, and of course, the assistant to the commander of the 41 Combined Arms Army for information support, Lieutenant Colonel Sivokhin, Yury Mikhailovich, for organizing and conducting the press tour.
The meeting point was set up in the center of Novosibirsk at 13.30 and around 9 hours of the morning we left Tomsk on our own. There are cars on the track. The area near the Swamp. Steering wheel classic Ural right, photographed the driver.
Closer to Novosibirsk, a bypass road begins - twice as wide as the M53 highway.
The meeting point was set up right in the center of Novosibirsk near the House of Officers. Nearby is a picturesque church, to the left of it a circus building - for example, there is no circus in Tomsk since the Soviet era - they broke somewhere in the beginning of 1980's to build a new one, but didn’t have time, but in Novosibirsk and other industrial cities there is (Kemerovo , Novokuznetsk, Novosibirsk, etc.). Tomsk is a university city ...
Eustace, Alex, meeting point - House of Officers, Novosibirsk.
It was on this minibus that we were taken to the press tour.
We cross Ob - we rush to the West.

"Comrade bloggers, welcome to the territory of the 562 airbase. We ask you to pass on a briefing to the personnel before combat shooting."
On this day there were flights to the firing range. Flying several crews and Mi-8 and Mi-24P. Shooting was carried out from cannons and NURs. At the briefing, as expected, the general situation, reference points, etc. were communicated. There are many interesting posters with numbers on the walls - about them in the bonus part of the report for connoisseurs.
This is Garmin (GPS) ... I forgot to ask about GLONASS, but in general he did have a massive promise to us already for the 2010 year, so maybe you should just wait. Quad plate with job notes.
The briefing was conducted by the deputy commander of the aviation base No. XXUMX, Lieutenant Colonel O.A.Panin. There are many interesting things for a non-expert on the board - there are familiar names - Kemerovo, Barnaul ...
The officers of the air base are pilots, navigators, technicians.
Novosibirsk bloggers and journalists, "Vesti-Novosibirsk."
Let's fly! On airplanes on the field there will be a separate conversation - though not very detailed.
Nearby is the civil airport Tolmachevo - landing a passenger airliner. Unfortunately, due to inexperience, I missed the landing of An-124 Ruslan ...
On this Mi-8, we accompanied a pair of Mi-24Ps on the route to the range and above the range. He asked - why sooty? The answer is that cars are kept in the open air, while winter is hard to wash in the cold. In the summer, cars are washed frequently and they always look smart. Another question - how to upgrade technology? The answer is an update, but first of all from western districts. No details were given, but as I understood here the helicopters are not the freshest releases. But all the flying equipment is in excellent condition - in fact, it can be seen both outside and inside.
The first in the direction of the landfill went "crocodiles" - Mi-24P. The site is located approximately 20 kilometers from the air base to the south. As it turned out later, some acquaintances had been there during the years of service.
At this point, allow me to complete the first part of our report. We are just learning and therefore may not be very informative. I apologize. In the second part - the actual flight and shooting ... Next - the airfield, barracks and the bonus part for real connoisseurs ...

Today is the day of flying to the landfill and flew many Mi-24P airbases. Mi-24P board №26 yellow.
In addition to the Mi-24P, Mi-8 helicopters with NUR units took part in the shooting.
Mi-8 board №67 yellow was allocated to a group of bloggers and journalists. Last preparations before departure.
We were loaded on the Mi-8 with the tail number 67 yellow. There was enough space for everyone. I did not take into account only one of inexperience - not all windows opened, and the pictures through the glass were not very good. Therefore, shooting in the air with other photographers, I think, should be much better.
Mi-8 - adjacent to us in the parking lot of helicopters.
Mi-24P board 26 yellow steer to the take-off area. All helicopters took off from certain sites, to which they moved under their own power. Helicopters were later landing at the same sites.
The crew and passengers are ready for takeoff!
Mi-24P probably board №26 - if he has not had time to roll.
Mi-24P board №25 is preparing for takeoff - we accompanied this helicopter and helicopter Mi-24П board №41 yellow. Below in the frame is a fragment of the suspension units of our helicopter.
And behind us, the Mi-8, which stood beside us in the same row, follow to take off. Shooting through the illuminator - the frame is zamylen.
We are in the air and not alone - we accompany a couple of Mi-24P. It should be noted that the take-off took place without excesses - no one needed the packages - despite some maneuvers in the air, the sensations were completely expected and normal. Helicopter flying is not scary!
Two "crocodile" go to work. An unforgettable sight really!
Mi-24P board №25 yellow - driven by our pair. Shooting against the sun and through the illuminator - we managed to pull it out with a photoshop.
A pair of Mi-24P is approaching the landfill.
Mi-24P board №25 - slave.
Mi-24P board №41 - leading.
That for which everything was started - shooting. Despite the warning that they would start shooting now - the volley of NURs I overslept. He was alone and by ear - 2-4 missiles from the board. It can be seen as the sleeves are poured. On the Mi-24, the twin gun, the caliber 30 mm, is a very powerful and effective means of attacking infantry and lightly armored vehicles. Guns fired longer and managed to still make one frame. Affected by the lack of experience in shooting helicopters and filming in general. Next time will be better!
Our companion and organizer of the press tour is Lieutenant Colonel Yury Mikhailovich Sivokhin.
So we flew back. The flight lasted no more than 40 minutes.
