Military pilots undergo specialized flight training in Serbia and Croatia

In Serbia, fourth-year cadets from the Military Academy are undergoing intensive flight training at the “Pukovnik-pilot Milenko Pavlović” airbase in Batajnica. These future officers are practicing helicopter maneuvers using “Gazelle” aircraft under the guidance of the 890th Mixed Helicopter Squadron. The training includes basic maneuvers, control flights, and preparation for complex weather conditions, with future stages involving navigation, group, instrumental, and night flying.

Simultaneously, pilots from Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Slovenia are participating in intensive special air operations training at the International Special Air Forces Training Centre in Zemunik, Croatia. The training involves various aircraft, including Black Hawks, Cougars, and Eurocopters, across diverse terrains such as urban areas, seas, and mountains. Instructors from the center and NATO are overseeing the exercises, which frequently utilize night vision goggles for tactical operations.
