Air crews of the air unit attached to Russia's 102nd military base
in Armenia have practiced combat flight techniques aboard MiG-29
multirole fighter jets, the Southern Military District's press
secretary, Col. Igor Gorbul, told Interfax-AVN on Wednesday.
"The air crews are flying missions to practice air maneuvering in
groups in the entire range of altitudes and speeds. The crews' flight
time in the past eight months is over 50 hours," Gorbul said.
Russian pilots go on training flights and maintain their aircraft at
the Erebuni airfield near Yerevan, he said.
Under an intergovernmental agreement, the Erebuni airfield hosts the
Russian airbase. The airbase is attached to Russia's 102nd military
base and it was switched to MiG-29 multirole fourth-generation fighter
jets in December 1998.
