Their handler said that once the hatch is opened, they will feel the rushing wind, hear the loud noise, and they are ready for the jump. Finally, the time when the pair are to jump into thin air, the dog is ready for the drop.
Russian military technology designed a special harness, which is seen in the video. It is manufactured by the Ivanovo parachute factory, which allows a specialist to jump with the handler and dog.

The harness is specially made by Technodinamika, which is part of the Rostec State Corporation. Putin himself went to the Ivanovo factory a year ago to check out the harness. These gung-ho Russian para dogs Jump from 13,000-feet safely with it.
All harnesses are to allow fast deployment from planes for the military canines, so they can areas where landing will be difficult. Also designed for back protection, and carries up to 45 kilograms, said designer Alexey Kozin.
