These are areas heavily affected by natural disasters, with roads completely cut off, making air access the most feasible and effective option.

The timely deployment of relief flights demonstrates the high sense of responsibility and professionalism of officers and soldiers of Regiment 916 and the close coordination with local authorities in responding to and overcoming the consequences of natural disasters, contributing to the early stabilization of people's lives in affected areas.
