MiG-29 flight training
Members of the 204th Air Brigade are undergoing regular flight training with MiG-29 aircraft at the "Colonel-Pilot Milenko Pavlović" military airfield in Batajnica and in the vicinity of Belgrade.
The goal of the training is for the flight crews to get practice and maintain a high level of ability for performing airspace control and protection tasks.Currently, the pilots are following a training programme which involves practicing tactical procedures and air interception at different altitudes in favourable and adverse weather conditions. The flight training is carried out in coordination with fighter aviation guidance officers from the 126th ASEWG Brigade. This ensures a high degree of proficiency in all elements of the permanently deployed forces responsible for airspace control and protection.
The squadron’s technicians, whose expertise and professionalism are critical to good maintenance and airworthiness of aircraft, are actively involved in the training, and the emphasis is on providing additional training to young officers who have been assigned to the unit after successfully completing the Air Force and Air Defence NCO Course.
The MiG-29 aircraft is a multi-purpose fighter aircraft capable of engaging ground and aerial targets and is part of the 101st Fighter Squadron’s fleet.
