The Russian Air Force aerobatic display teams Russian Knights and Swifts (Strizhi) will be disbanded after MAKS 2011 Airshow. The teams will fly for the last time during MAKS Air Show from August 16 to 21. The Russian Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov, who is the first civilian Minister of Defense, signed an order on June 9 to disband both demonstration teams. The reason is the budgetary cuts in Russian Air Force.

There is a rumor about the creation of the only one display team to represent the Russian Air Force flying Yak-130 jet training planes, but it's not confirmed yet. Most of the World's air forces aerobatic teams fly training planes, so the Russians probably do the same. It's more cheap and easy to support such a team.

This was not so unexpected, while the Russian Air Force is the only one in the world to have two demonstration teams and both flying fighters. Russian Knights fly with heavy fighters Su-27, while the Swifts fly MiG-29.

Russian Knights and Swifts were formed in 1991 at Kubinka Air Base, near Moscow. This year the teams celebrates 20th anniversary and unfortunately the last one.

Speram sa-i prind vreodata...

The Russian Defence Minister Anatoly Serdiukov has disproved news reports that the Russian Knights and Swifts elite aerobatic teams will be disbanded and merged into one.

“The news media are reporting on something I’ve never known about”, the Defence Minister said during a show of military and special-purpose vehicles at Bronnitsy, near Moscow, earlier today.

Cu alte cuvinte, dezmintirea a venit inaintea stirii . Nu cred ca renunta rusii la Russian Knights, e chestie de mandrie si imagine. Oricum maine au show la un mare festival rock in aer liber - Invasion 2011 organizat pe langa Moscova - un fel de Woodstock rusesc

Ar fi fost pacat. RK sunt singurii din lume care fac acrobatie pe un avion de 23 de tone:)
