SEVASTOPOL, February 4. /TASS/. The crews of naval aviation aircraft of the Russian Black Sea Fleet breached a notional enemy’s air defenses and struck targets with bombs during drills at a practice range in Crimea, the Fleet’s press office reported on Tuesday.

"The crews of Su-30SM and Su-24M planes from the Black Sea Fleet’s naval aviation and air defense forces held a bombing exercise as part of their training flights. During the drills, the crews of Su-24MR planes accomplished missions to conduct reconnaissance and transmit data on the notional enemy’s location," the press office said in a statement.

The drills involved Su-30SM multirole fighters and also Su-24M frontline bombers. As the press office specified for TASS, a total of 10 aircraft took part in the exercise.
