63rd Parachute Brigade members train in wind tunnel
The 63rd Parachute Brigade members, who are undergoing advanced paratrooper training, have spent this week in Prague receiving wind tunnel training.
The training was conducted in excellent conditions and friendly atmosphere, with the focus on mastering free fall elements and learning to perform parachute jumps carrying load bags containing weapons and military equipment.The time each SAF paratrooper spent in the wind tunnel corresponded to that needed for a free fall performed during 50 training jumps from the aircraft at 4000m altitude.
That way, it took much less time to conduct advanced parachute training involving free fall jumps with special wing parachutes, with weapons and equipment, on small-size terrains.
The wind tunnel training is important because it saves Serbian Armed Forces’ material resources, since this kind of training does not require the employment of aircraft and their crew. Another important segment of our paratroopers’ visit to Prague was an exchange of experience with training instructors from the Czech Republic.
