Air Force Day celebrated by Kuban Governor in appreciation of military personnel

In the spirit of Air Force Day, celebrated on August 12, 2023, Veniamin Kondratyev, the Governor of Krasnodar Krai, extended his heartfelt congratulations to the military personnel, cadets, and veterans of the Air Force in his Telegram channel.

Kondratyev's message was a continuation of his earlier congratulations for Air Force Day. He acknowledged the crucial role that the current generation of pilots, technicians, and engineers in Krasnodar Krai play in protecting Russia's and Kuban's airspace.

The Serov Higher Military Aviation School, which has been training pilots for 65 years, continues to play a significant role in the development and strengthening of Russia's Air Force in Krasnodar Krai. During the Great Patriotic War, pilots from this school likely participated in key battles such as the Battle for the Caucasus and the liberation of Kuban, providing critical air support.

The Serov Higher Military Aviation School, named after Hero of the Soviet Union A.K. Serov, was a Soviet military aviation training institution that trained military pilots who participated in various significant battles of the Great Patriotic War. The school honours its historical connection to the war and the role of Soviet military aviation in victory.

Today's pilots, technicians, and engineers in Krasnodar Krai continue to protect Russia's and Kuban's airspace, serving in units and training centers, and participating in military operations. They maintain high levels of professional training and technical readiness of aviation, ensuring the safety and security of the region.

Krasnodar Krai continues to contribute significantly to the development and strengthening of Russia's Air Force. The personnel, cadets, and veterans of the Air Force in Krasnodar Krai were the recipients of Kondratyev's message, wishing them good health, prosperity, and reliable support in their important work.
