The flight of a MiG-29 aircraft with tail number 37 took place after inspection and restoration work, which is an important part of the overall process in which engineering and technical personnel carry out activities to restore the fighter’s airworthiness. The acceptance flight of an F-16 aircraft with tail number 301 is the final stage in the process of accepting the fighter, the Air Force added.
The Air Force Command assured the public that the aircraft were not carrying weapons during the flights and that all safety requirements and measures were observed. Some of the checks of aviation equipment are carried out at supersonic speeds. The shock wave from the sonic booms is heard as a loud bang. They are a normal physical phenomenon and do not pose a danger to people, animals or birds.
