16 August 2018

Unusual exercises were held in the East

You can often marvel at how combat planes land on highways. Witnessing this spectacle became simple motorists who were moving along the Komsomolsk-on-Amur — Khabarovsk.

Fortunately, we are not talking about emergency landing, and routine exercise. Especially for practicing maneuvers traffic on the motorway was blocked, reports the publication AmurMedia. As a result, formed a huge traffic jam: traffic jam stretched for several kilometers.

Planned exercises included practicing the execution of aerobatic maneuvers. This involved the su-30CM, su-35S and MiG-31. One of the final elements began landing on short, relatively damaged strip. It became a highway.

The traffic section of the highway Komsomolsk-on-Amur — Khabarovsk 91 to 93 kilometre in the next few days will overlap several times. Educational testing will continue until August 23. Every time the drivers have to stand in traffic for several hours.

Representatives of the defense Ministry was not informed, what is the fundamental difference between the highway from conventionally cropped runway of a military airfield. In the end, such actions of the lives of ordinary citizens at risk: the exercises, it can happen anything, and given the low altitude when landing in case of emergency the pilot has nothing to make. Not to mention the fact that drivers and passengers have several hours to stand on the track.
