“The experiment was carried out in real combat conditions, a group of Su-35 fighters was involved in the“ flock ”, the Su-57 played the role of command and staff aircraft,” TASS quoted its source in the military-industrial complex.
It is noted that the use of such a "flock" seriously increases the efficiency of combat missions.
The place and date of the experiment were not named.
Earlier, Russian Tu-142MK anti-submarine aircraft completed scheduled flights over the Barents and Norwegian Seas, as well as over the Pacific Ocean.
