The Russian aerobatics groups known as ‘The Swifts’ and ‘The Russian Knights’ have marked 20 years since the establishment of the ‘Swifts’ team by performing a series of spectacular stunts above the heads of international spectators at a military airfield near Kubinka west of Moscow.
‘The Swifts’ fly MiG-29, and ‘The Russian Knights’, Sukhoi-27 jets. ‘The Swifts’ are the world’s only aerobatics group flying fully armed combat aircraft.
