The head of state first reviewed the current structure of DOSAAF and the progress in fulfilling the tasks facing the organization.

The discussion also touched upon pilot training. «Is the training decent or are there shortcomings? Is the training of pilots going well?» Aleksandr Lukashenko asked.

Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin replied: «The level is sufficient.»

The president was informed that Belarus is the only post-Soviet country that has preserved a network of aero clubs and continues to develop it. There are five of them in total. This largely contributes to the quality flight training of pilots for both civil and military aviation.

«This means we need DOSAAF,» the head of state stressed.

During his time at the Minsk DOSAAF Aero Club, the president toured the Space pavilion. Among the exhibits are personal belongings of Belarusian cosmonauts and Yuri Gagarin. Aleksandr Lukashenko showed particular interest in the descent module of the Soyuz spacecraft. Natalya Gagarina, Yuri Gagarin’s niece, provided insights into the unique historical artifacts.

The head of state also reviewed numerous aircraft on display outdoors, along with various parachute systems.
