Would be interested to know what they called a dogfight
'Manőverező légiharc' = 'Manouvering air combat'

Base Height?
For example > nr.500 started at 50-100m with horizontal 8, with full afterburner, full overload, vertical man's etc..bit something like an airshow. With full burner for 12-14min, must to pull really hard, average G checked by black-box tape after. If you switch off the full burner for a second or the average G's are too low: try again. Nothing tactical, just complex aerobatics at the deck, something like physical training for dogfight....

Radar-Vis or just Visual?
Visual

How many splits in a sortie? 2/3?
Most of the exercises in the series 482-592 came from the Soviet standard ACT program '500s'.
For example n.533-37, some scripted scenarios, 2 in each: you are on CAP, you are under attack, must to react with manouvers 'loop' 'knot' 'roof' ' shell' 'fork'
In other scenarios you are the attacker, in others free-fight etc.

..and what did they call "low level"?
For example this: " 226 = low level night intercept " at the possible lowest height where your radar is working(21bis - no lookdawn capability
