The Ukrainian Airborne Forces continue to test and train personnel for parachuting using modern T-11 parachute systems.

This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press service of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

What is T-11?

The T-11 is a new generation of airborne parachutes that has replaced outdated systems. They provide:

• Increased safety by reducing the height of the landing and thus reducing the time spent in the air.
• Increased load capacity, which allows paratroopers to carry more equipment.
• Steady and controlled descent, minimising landing risks.
