LJ user 4044415 writes: 344th Center for combat use and retraining of the army aviation (Torzhok, Tver region) was formed at the end of 1979. Its personnel carried out the tasks of the government of the USSR and Russia both in the country and abroad in 30 countries of the world. The center is engaged in training pilots of the highest category with the assignment of the qualifications “pilot-sniper” and “navigator-sniper”. The Center also prepares foreign military specialists of flight and technical personnel ... This is a squeeze of official information, so to speak, for those who have not heard of the Center ...

Last week, the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry called bloggers on a trip to this Center. Even though I've already been there, I still decided to unwind and ride for a company with these same bloggers ...





1. What the bloggers first of all showed was the Mi-8 / Mi-17 helicopter simulator ...



2. The simulator provides for the testing of many emergency situations on the example of real accidents ...



3. The simulator uses a hemisphere screen with an image projected onto it. Surprisingly, the sense of three-dimensional unbelievable. In spite of the fact that the cabin is immovable, when you “fly” you feel ... a sense of flight oddly enough - someone is sickening, someone is trying to keep his balance in a turn. The brain is mistaken for the full program ...



4. The city of Sochi and its surroundings was used as a flight location. This fact first made me suspect the Center in preparation for the air support of the event scheduled for 2014 year, but after searching the network, I conclude that this is just the default map ... Well, in general, it's a great toy, in which for some money You can simulate any terrain, any weather conditions, any situations, including with the use of weapons ...



5. Helicopter Museum ... I was here a couple of years ago (http://4044415.livejournal.com/54478.html) ...



6. Since then, nothing has changed. Tired turntables are quietly rotting, only on some a new layer of intake hammer paint has appeared ...



7. I will not show all the cars in a row, I have already shown and told after that museum visit. To whom it is interesting - follow the link given above ...

13. Probably the most interesting for everyone was still not a simulator and a museum, but the Center itself - an active, lively military airfield. In the light August haze, the ZILs of the servants swam, the bikes of technicians and pilots rang on the bumps, the Night Hunters banged, the Alligators slammed, the good old Eight banged, buzzed, changed continuously crew. On this day, only Crocodiles and Cows were not seen in the air ...

33. Eight with cannon containers. And judging by the plate - charged. Most likely the duty operative machine ...

      Oh, there would have been more such wasps and such nests, as tired of silence at military airfields!

        We are a huge continental country - and 1000 attack helicopters may not be enough for a presence in all possible theaters of military operations. We are "doomed" to spend a significant share on the army - and helicopters are not the last component

    Volhynia looks like a sawn-off shotgun of a 37 mm automatic anti-aircraft gun mod. 1939 61-K. And why Black sharks without blades are sheathed.
