Ukraine will be represented at the exercise by around 20 aircraft of various types, helicopters and UAVs, stationary and mobile radar units and mobile fire groups of air defense units. The United States will send around 10 aircraft, including: F-15C / D, C-130, KS-135, and MQ-9 UAVs, as well as several engineers and technicians.

They will work out a collision with our VKS. If the participation of 20 aircraft, helicopters and UAVs is the largest exercise in the history of Ukraine in the history of Ukraine, then how many planes have they used in the exercises before?

[Andrey Yuryevich]

over 40 aircraft

all Ukrainian air forces, including "model aircraft" ...

[Ros 56]

By the way, in the days of the USSR in Ukraine there were very strong aircraft models both in free and cordial models. Many winners and champions of the USSR, Europe and the World. Only memories remained.

[Shiva83483]

And why did you forget the carpet plane? and this .... air kite?

[Sergey Goncharov]

Less natural. The military aviation exercises in Ukraine have never involved more than a combined squadron.

[Jerk]

over 40 aircraft, dozens of anti-aircraft missile systems and hundreds of military personnel

Have you seen these "mushroom pickers"? !!!

About 300 thousand military personnel, 36 thousand tanks, armored personnel carriers and other vehicles, more than 1 thousand helicopters, planes and drones, the Pacific and Northern fleets are involved in the exercises, the Airborne Forces are fully involved

It seems that realistically in schizophrenics in the fall, activity escalates. Belgium, Melkobreganiya, Holland, the USA, the Holopia - they all carry such a blizzard, where did they get LSD from?

[Thunderbolt]

Exercise Vostok, a large-scale event and Clear Sky-2018, were not even close in terms of the forces involved. There is even nothing to compare. But ...!
The upcoming Ukrainian exercises are not as harmless and midget as it seems at first glance (if we estimate the number of aircraft and ground teams). The fact is that the US Air Force will train in neighboring Ukraine. And the number is not important here, because. if during the exercise they establish the most effective protocols and algorithms for interaction, then "... where the F-sixteen section landed / two planes /, there the group will sit down and base it / and this is already, you know, up to 30 fighters /. Fortunately, since the times of the USSR, Ukraine has got a good airfield network. If something is ruined or outdated, the Pentagon has allocated a very large sum to improve the airfield network in Eastern Europe for NATO countries. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but if the American engineering battalion of the MP is building base on the Black Sea coast, then, in my opinion, NATO members also want to keep Ukrainian airfields ready. And the movement in this direction began immediately after the Maidan / http: //avianews.info/ukraina-vosstanavlivaet-voennye-aerodromy/ The Ukrainians themselves wanted to or NATO strategists recommended, remaining in the shadows themselves. In a word, the exercise is not so simple, if we consider it in the complex of all those activities that NATO has been carrying out on Ukrainian soil since the collapse of the USSR.

"Where did you get the LSD from?"

So the Americans provided a direct supply from Afgan ... It is written that the C-130 are taking part in the "exercises".

[Machete]

Our exercises were the largest since the collapse: 300000 soldiers and tens of thousands of various equipment and ships and aircraft ...
And shouting about overstepping 20 aircraft is, in my opinion, stupid.
Although, for a banana republic, maybe this is the height of the break.

[Bull Terrier]

So they consider the total number, not their own))))

[A good one]

It’s easier to consider someone else’s because there’s a hole in your pocket.

[Birdie]

The 25th Transport Aviation Brigade will again scatter gifts?

[novobranets]

Abnormal operation of the brake igniter. Obviously, the pin with the contact load hung loose, and during the ejection he did not move away from the platform. Most likely due to the sloppiness of the loading team.

Earlier large-scale exercises of the Naval Forces of Ukraine in the Mediterranean Sea area were announced by the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Turchinov.

After that, waking up in the morning and not sober, Turchinov announced the following exercises of Ukraine in the ..... Pacific Ocean!

[Sergey Goncharov]

He announced the teachings in the Sea of ​​Azov in fact. 2 ships and 4 boats.

[NEOZ]

what kind of plane is in the picture?

[Birdie]

Casa CN-235 - lightweight turboprop military transport aircraft.

[Nyrobsky]

Probably for this reason, they dragged their BUKs to the line of demarcation with the LPNR, which the OSCE representatives suddenly discovered the other day. Probably they wanted to overwhelm some kind of "guest" at the exercises (they are angry at the Hungarians) and blame it on the fact that it was the Russians who knocked him down with a BUK from an uncontrolled territory.

[novobranets]

What about a sanitary day at the "Baltic" training ground?

[igorbrsv]

The Spanish missile is sought

They’re not looking there. Do not joke about the acceptance of non-ferrous scrap.

[Alexey-74]

Do not forget to call the Baltic states with their huge aircraft .....

[keeper03]

Mdacivilian planes should stay away from the training area, for 404 has negative experience in this matter!

[Ivan Ivanov]

It’s not possible to live close to them normally, a state hostile from the roots.

[Grandfather Fichteau]

Valtsman did not dare to launch an attack on the Donbass .. Washington offered him a cunning plan!
Like "ucheniya" .. Will provoke Russia and the DPR !?
I feel here again, Israel tried. They are afraid of placing the S-300 in Syria, terribly.
Well, what about the Russian world, we will accept the challenge ..?

We must endure, otherwise all of the khan is for all of us ..
For all the dead must be avenged .. Especially for Zakharchenko.

Well, the teachings, well, with the allies. You never know where the teachings can be. In the world they are constantly.
In Ukraine, both war and exercises.

When you have a war, at least it is clear who they are shooting at. Doctrines are scary. Although in both cases civilians suffer ..

[Foxmara]

Thank God that civil aviation is already flying around the land. The only country in the world that shot down two civilians and not a single military side at once. Moreover, one is just the same in the exercises. The reaction was indicative even then - not well, but what? Well, shot down and shot down, with whom it does not happen. Like Israel, there was nothing.

[LeonidL]

Interesting, very interesting, who the rogues will be beaten this time?

[pafegosoff]

And thousands of Komarians will fly in the air!
And where are the great armies of Monaco and Andorra? Where is the Vatican Aviation?
