2014, a MiG-29 belonging to the team was spotted armed with a full air-to-air load and performing a low altitude flyby over the Donetsk region. In June 2022, a MiG-29 was seen on video armed with missiles and parked on a runway. With differences from the originals, including in the livery, it is suspected that this aircraft was a Falcons plane, pulled from storage and fixed up with foreign-supplied parts as part of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. On 13 October 2022, a MiG-29 wearing a livery similar to the Ukrainian Falcons aircraft was lost on a combat mission in Vinnytsia Oblast while intercepting Iranian Shahed 136 drones used by Russian forces.
