There are various rumors in social networks about helicopters flying over Shymkent. Many people think that special equipment poisons the population with strange substances. In actual fact, the training exercises are conducted there by military aviation pilots.
"Regular flights over the city three times a week, both at night and during the day are exercises for pilots of the Shymkent air base," comments the head of the press service of Shymkent garrison, Islambek KALDYBEKOV. - Military aircrew personnels have started workup group flights. They are carried out on Mи-35M and Mи-171Ш helicopters. Pilots perform complex aerobatic elements at an altitude of 50 to 1000 meters. Special attention is paid to the work of crews in air combat conditions."
