Military training was held in Kamchatka involving fighter aviation Pacific fleet. The exercise was conducted as part of the combat readiness verification of the air defense forces. The air defense forces of the Pacific Fleet in the Kamchatka Territory reflected a conditional strike by cruise missiles at the Kamchatka Kura firing range.
The supersonic strategic bomber-missile carrier Tu-160 of the long-range aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which launched its cruise missiles at the Kura range, acted as the enemy. To repel a massive rocket attack on an alert, crews of all-weather naval aviation MiG-31 fighters deployed in the Kamchatka region were raised by crews of all-weather MiG-XNUMX interceptor fighters.
The press service of the district says that the fighter-interceptors successfully coped with the task. All targets were discovered, captured and successfully destroyed using air-to-air missiles.
Previously, the pilots on the MiG-31 worked out measures to intercept missiles in the lower stratosphere. The conventional target for each crew of the MiG-31 was moving at a speed of about 800 km / h. The distance to destroy the rocket was about 120 km. Interceptor fighters operated at an altitude of about 15 thousand meters at speeds above 2,5 thousand km / h.
