At the closing of the Folkloriada, the aerobatic group of "Russkie Vityazi" (Rus - Russian Knights) performed

"Russkie Vityazi" aerobatic team launched the closing ceremony of the VI CIOFF®️ World Folkloriada in the Ufa Amphitheater. The pilots flew to the capital, especially for this event.

Su-30SM and Su-35 circled swiftly in the sky of Ufa. The performance of the aerobatic team took place in honor of the closing of the Folkloriada and is also timed to the 80th anniversary of the UMPO.

"Russkie Vityazi" is the only team in the world that performs aerobatics on heavy fighter class aircraft. A barrel, a Nesterov loop, a bell, a fountain, the dissolution of a tulip. The way the aces made those complex elements brought the audience into complete delight.

Note that the fighters are equipped with engines manufactured by UEC-UMPO. It was 80 years ago, in July 1941, that the evacuation of aviation industry enterprises from Rybinsk, Moscow, and Leningrad to Ufa began. Then, on the Bashkir land, the largest Russian aircraft engine factories merged together – so the Ufa Order of Lenin State Union Plant No. 26 was created.

High-tech unique engines of modern fighters are being created in Ufa and they are also used on the planes of the "Russkie Vityazi" aerobatic team.

Then the program of closing the Folkloriada was continued by one of the headliners of the evening – the State Academic Russian Choir named after M. Pyatnitsky.
