This is the Yandex translate of that item. Nor sure how it applies to Syria.

The crews of su-25СМ3 aviation regiment of the southern military district (JUVO), stationed in the Krasnodar region, started to perform the practical flight, in which it seeks to destroy the air defenses of the enemy.

To implement flight missions attracted more than 100 pilots and technicians as well as professionals of the ground providing the services involved around 20 planes.

During the flights the pilots improve their skills of flying aircraft in mountainous terrain and difficult weather conditions at different altitudes.

In the combat steam the crews of the SU-25СМ3 must overcome the air defense system of the imaginary enemy, to hit ground targets with the use of aircraft missiles, guns, bombed.

Pilots will also have to work out the launches of guided missiles and air bombs to reset the positions of the imaginary enemy in one of the aircraft polygons in the Kuban.

It is planned that in the coming year, the crews of su-25СМ3 will make more than 1.5 thousand sorties with the practical application of standard weapons, which will be addressed the task of destroying the fleet of combat vehicles, air defense sites and bases of conventional enemy.
