In Sochi, on the basis of the Southern RPSO EMERCOM of Russia, airborne training sessions are being held

For three days, rescuers of the YuRPSO EMERCOM of Russia and the flight crew of the Southern Aviation Rescue Center have been practicing interaction during search and rescue operations - searching for and evacuating “victims” on board a Ka-32 helicopter. Rescuers are honing their skills in parachute-free landing onto a limited area of a helicopter field, as well as descents along the bed of the mountain river Sochi.

Specialists of the YURPSO EMERCOM of Russia parachute from a height of 10 to 30 meters along a rope using a descending device. Lifting a conditionally injured person in a stretcher and a rescue scarf is practiced using an on-board winch.

In total, 30 employees of the Southern Regional Search and Rescue Team are taking part in the training camp.
