Russia staged a grand air show on Saturday with over 150 aircraft hitting the sky to celebrate the 105th anniversary of its air force.
Su-30SM, Su-35, Mi-26, Ka-52, and Mig-29 made appearances at Patriot Park on the outskirts of Moscow.
Important models that were serving in the first half of the 20th century like Farman biplane, DC-3, and IL-2 were also displayed.
The highlights of the show were Russia's famous military aerobatic teams called the Swifts, the Knights, and the Falcons.
Russian Air Force Day, which fell on August 12, has been celebrated every year since 2006.
