Aircrews of Northern Fleet (NF) antisubmarine aircraft Tu-142 and Il-38 have successfully performed training flights in order to search and detect "enemy" submarines. Flights were carried out in accordance with predetermined routes over NF sea ranges.
During the flights, crews of the ASW aircraft practiced submarine searching and tracing tactics with integrated use of radar and sonar submarine detection equipment.
Except for submarine detection techniques, aircrews held bombardment of a radar target.
Totally, over 1 500 pilots, technicians, and flight support personnel took part in the drills.
The exercise was preceded by thorough preparation and readiness tests of technical staff, ground services and experts.
