6
Domestic pilots have always been distinguished by their skill. aviation aerobatic teams "Russian Knights" and "Swifts" flying on the Su-30SM and MiG-29, respectively, are the owners of a number of world records, and their performances at air shows always attract the attention of visitors and the press, especially the western one.
"Russian Knights", being the only group in the world performing aerobatics on "heavy fighters", until last year performed on Su-27P and Su-27UB. In 2016, they “transferred” to new Su-30CM. The Swifts, in turn, also expect to replace the flight fleet with more modern MiG-35.
In 2004, for the first time, a joint flight of two groups took place. "Russian Knights" and "Swifts" as part of 9 aircraft (4 MiG and 5 Dryers) set a world record by making a flight in the "diamond" line with the performance of aerobatics.
