CHAUDA RANGE (Crimea) (Sputnik) – Crimean residents as well as visitors of the peninsula will be able to watch the Aviadarts-2016 flight skills competition at the Chauda range in Crimea for four days, Col. Gen. Viktor Bondarev, the Russian Aerospace Forces commander, said Sunday.

"I am pleased to note that builders at the Chauda range did their best – all the results are visible to the naked eye. One will be able to see how the pilots work on May 30 – 31, and June 3 – 4. All security measures and vehicular accesses have been organized for the audience," he told reporters.

Bondarev noted that there were no tickets for the Aviadarts competition as it was free.

"One can arrive at the range in the morning and see everything. The main day will be, of course, June 5, at the Nakhimov Square in Sevastopol. There will be a competition’s closing ceremony," he said.

The Aviadarts show is an annual competition aimed at testing flight skills and precision shooting. It is organized by the Russian Defense Ministry. For the first time, the show that features fighter jets, bombers and other aircraft, was held in Russia in 2013.
