See the aerial refueling scene for Russian army Sukhoi fighters

Through a video shared by the Russian military, we learned a little more about how to refuel the fighters in the air.

According to Sputniknews , the Russian defense ministry recently shared a video showing the aerial refueling scene for the Sukhoi fighter jet. This activity is carried out at an altitude of about 6 thousand meters and must ensure a safe distance of about 20 meters.

In the video, you can see the refueling of the Ilyushin-78 aircraft with 4 engines. Ilyushin-78 is capable of refueling up to 10 jets on the same cruise. Also during the above training period were the arrival of Su-24M, Su-34 and Su-30.

The whole refueling process is carried out when both fly at a speed of 600km / h. The video shows a close-up of this refueling shot from inside the Su-34's cabin and from the Su-24M.

This is not the first time the Russian military has shared such interesting videos. In early January 2020, Russian television channel Zvezda published a video of the aerial refueling scene of the Su-30SM and Su-24M fighter models.

Aerial refueling training is always one of the difficult exercises. But most of the country's military must master this process to ensure maneuverability in combat and to increase the operational range of fighter jets.
