This is reported by the press service of the Defence Ministry of Ukraine.

"The military pilots of the 831 Myrhorod Tactical Aviation Brigade became winners in the nomination ‘Best Aerobatics among NATO partner countries’ at The Royal International Air Tattoo 2017 air show, held in the UK on July 14-16," the statement reads.

Ukraine was represented by two Su-27 fighter aircrafts (in static and flying displays) and IL-76 military aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force.
