Under the direction and coordination of Regiment 927 (Division 371) and relevant units, as part of the composite flight rehearsal involving three aircraft types (Su-30MK2, L-39NG, and Yak-130), the Yak-130 aircraft of Regiment 940 took off in two formations of three aircraft each. After ascending to an altitude of 600 to 1,000 meters, the two groups maneuvered and merged into a six-aircraft formation, flying past a designated mock grandstand area.
