AH_b6fc04dc-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802HUNTER says the story behind his helmet began with a simple patch of a Cossack image that happened to catch his eye. He liked the look with the moustache and oseledets so much that the 12th Brigade pilot decided to make his own helmet in a similar style. He decided to paint only on the protective mask, which seems to be designed to look like a Cossack moustache, and picked a few spots on the helmet for the same patch and national symbols. He borrowed the idea of decorating the helmet with themed patches from American pilots, where it has long been one of the established traditions.

AH_e88f1bdf-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802The character depicted on the helmet was created by an art teacher and Army Aviation pilot with the call sign Qnesko. The main highlight of the helmet is its yellow-blue eyes and razor-sharp teeth. As the pilot himself claims, the image comes to life as soon as someone encroaches on Ukraine.
On one side of the helmet is the pilot’s call sign, and on the other is the inscription DEATH ON CALL, and behind it, there is some space for a patch.

AH_e305be6e-caae-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802The French certainly know how to make Russia burn! Over two centuries ago, Moscow caught fire at the mere approach of Napoleon's army, leaving nothing but ashes of the swamp-dwelling Mordor's capital by the time he entered the city. History runs in cycles, and now Russia is once again feeling the heat - this time from Franco-British Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles, with French Mirage 2000 aircraft soon to join the party. Following our cherished tradition, we're materializing our aspirations in clothing even before these jets appear in our skies.
The Mirage 2000 will become the second Western fighter jet delivered to Ukraine, following the F-16. These aircraft will be equipped with cutting-edge air-to-ground systems, capable of carrying Western missiles, and their radars can simultaneously detect 24 aerial targets, track 8, and engage 4 of them at once!
AH_d7ccd5cc-caae-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802За старою доброю традицією, які тільки на обрії москви з'являються французи, вона горить сама собою - доведено Наполеоном. Ми створили футболку про французький винищувач Mirage 2000 ще до того, як в радіообмінах наших пілотів зазвучало палке французьке Bonjour для окупантів, бо ті, хто з нами давно, знають, настільки блискавично зображення з нашого одягу матеріалізується в реальну техніку. Ото й зараз файно встигли, би вам було в чому зустрічати французьких пташок в українському небі!
AH_a47b5ad0-b93a-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802When we tell our descendants about the war in years to come, it is unlikely that they will understand the joking phrase ‘we believed in them so much that we went to bed in our pyjamas’. At such a moment, it would be a good idea to pull out an old Air Defence T-shirt from the closet, gather a crowd of kids around you, and, like with an old photo album, tell them about the role of Air Defence in those years, what the Air Defence Mobile Fire Groups did, and what the print with the rows of air targets on the back means. This T-shirt is a part of our history that is being written right now. On the front, we depicted enemy ‘shaheds’ and the vehicle of Air Defence Mobile Fire Groups against the background of a realistic radar, which has a phosphorous coating and glows at night. Next to it, there are lullaby lines: «Спи, маленький, баю-бай. Всіх баранчиків спіймай» (‘Sleep, little one, rock-a-bye. Catch all the little lambs’).
AH_813b1f4d-b93a-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802In February 2022, a very special ‘religion’ appeared in Ukraine, uniting millions of people, regardless of their actual faith. People in all corners of the country, wrapped in a blanket and standing between two walls, hiding in basements and subways, or ducking down from explosions in the street, put their faith in Ukrainian air defence and asked ‘higher powers’ to protect them. And for the third year in a row, these higher powers wearing pixel have been doing a tremendous job 24/7 to ensure that as many Ukrainians as possible hear the air raid warning go silent and see that all russian missiles and shaheds fail to hit residential buildings and become mere numbers in the reports of the air defence forces. It is about these ‘higher powers’ wearing pixel that we have created a new men’s AIR DEFENCE T-shirt that speaks for itself. The front features a print with enemy ‘shaheds’ and a vehicle of the Air Defence Mobile Fire Groups against the background of a realistic radar that will glow at night. One chest, there are lines of a gentle lullaby «Спи, маленький, баю-бай. Всіх баранчиків спіймай» (‘Sleep, little one, rock-a-bye. Catch all the little lambs’). On the back, there are the same morning reports with downed enemy targets as a reminder that everything will be fine.
AH_f812051c-fd8b-11ee-9bc2-00155dcd4802Independent people have only one dependency, and that is dependence on freedom. In this respect, people are very similar to birds. Hundreds of years ago, Leonardo da Vinci wrote a treatise called ‘Codex on the Flight of Birds’, where he proposed a design for an aircraft that later formed the basis of the modern hang glider as based on the study of bird flight. Aviation has become the embodiment of the human dream of being free like birds. The stronger the dream, the easier it is to spread your wings.
AH_b42d900e-fd8b-11ee-9bc2-00155dcd4802Birds are always about freedom, wings and free flight. This is what our brand lives for. Women’s oversized T-shirt ‘Wings of the Free’ manifests this freedom in its purest form. People have long wanted to see the world from the bird’s eye view, so paragliders, balloons and aeroplanes were born out of this desire. It is the desire for freedom that we share with birds that keeps us from giving up our wings, even if they are not of flesh.
AH_6f8f8a28-6e8f-11ef-9bc7-00155dcd4802A women's T-shirt about the Patriot universal air defence system, which has recently been in service with Ukrainian army. This beast easily catches up with and destroys absolutely all types of missiles used by our enemy. It works miracles where other air defence systems are helpless: for example, destroying hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, which was impossible before the Patriot was adopted. Its missiles can reach more than two kilometres upwards and up to 160 kilometres off into the distance, allowing the Ukrainian army to hit the nooks and crannies in the occupiers’ rear and bury the enemy in hell. On the front of the T-shirt, we placed a drawing of a missile and the SAM’s huge name, and on the back, there is a decorative trident.
AH_52c26d16-6e8f-11ef-9bc7-00155dcd4802A reserved and yet having very distinct accents men’s T-shirt about the Patriot universal air defence system, which has been in service with the Ukrainian army for only a year, but from the very first days has become a real headliner in the war against russia. This beast will easily leave tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, enemy aircraft, helicopters and a bunch of other enemy hardware in the dust when other air defence systems are impotent. It is this system that is most effective against the russian hypersonic Kinzhal missile, which has been proven more than once by hundreds of lives saved. The development of the Patriot system began in the early 1960s, but it was only in 1982 that the US Army was able to take it into service. The system can simultaneously track 50 targets and hit five of them. Its missiles can reach more than two kilometres upwards and up to 160 kilometres off into the distance. The front of the T-shirt has a drawing of a missile and the large inscription with the name of the SAM, while the back has a decorative trident made of missiles.
