Skydivers from the Russian Ministry of Defence's State Flight Test Centre have set a new world record for the longest parachute jump, descending from an altitude of over 80 kilometers. The jump, which took place under extreme conditions with temperatures reaching -57°C and wind speeds of 350 km/h, involved 96 parachutists who successfully executed a synchronized 'head up' formation.
