Flight training with Orao (Eagle) aircraft
Members of the 98th Air Brigade are doing regular flight training with Orao aircraft at “Morava” Airport and in the greater Kraljevo area.
The training is designed for the flight crews to practice and maintain a high level of skill, and at the same time, it is a preparation for the upcoming firing at ground targets.
At this time, standard tactics, techniques and procedures are being practiced, with primary focus on the execution of flight missions at night and in limited visibility. In parallel with the flight training, the aircraft maintenance personnel, who are responsible for the airworthiness of aircraft and their availability for flight missions are also undergoing training.
The Orao, J-22, is a fighter-bomber and is part of the fleet of the 241st Fighter-Bomber Squadron, 98th Air Brigade. It is intended for providing aerial support to ground forces and Special Forces during combat operations and its principal tasks include engaging ground targets.
