According to the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Yunus-Bek Evkurov, for high-altitude landing from a specified height, new-generation special-purpose parachute systems, individual oxygen systems and navigation equipment were used. Also during the landing, new special equipment and uniforms were tested. As a result of the exercises, the new equipment was successfully tested.
We will conduct similar exercises annually, in different regions of the Arctic, with different composition of involved participants and in different periods of training.
