Russia Post released a set of 2 stamps on Aerobatic aviation groups "Russian Knights" and "Swifts" on 24th November 2021 depicting images of the aircraft of Russkie Vityazi (Su-30SM) and Strizhi (MiG-29) aerobatics teams.
Aerobatics teams Russkie Vityazi and Strizhi were formed almost simultaneously on April 5 and May 6, 1991. Both groups were named by their pilots themselves. The groups are based in Kubinka of the Moscow Region in the composition of the Aircraft Demonstration Center named after I.N. Kozhedub.
The renewed Strizhi and Russkie Vityazi formations (of six aircraft) have been performing since 2014. Each new pilot has to undergo profound training in order to qualify to fly in the team.
