In 1942 they were transferred to the Mighty Eighth Air Force under the 4th Fighter Group, based in Debden, Essex. The 4th was the first fighter group to penetrate German airspace, the first to escort bombers over Berlin, and led the first shuttle mission from England to Russia. Under the indomitable leadership of Colonel Don Blakeslee, they became the highest scoring unit of the USAAF, destroying 1,016 enemy aircraft in the air and on the ground.

In the summer of 2015, the Russian Aerospace Forces achieved significant results in the fight against terrorist groups on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic (SAR). Our sources embedded in the ranks of terrorists say that a series of terrorist attacks are being prepared in the North Caucasian republics of the Russian Federation in order to reduce the military activity of the Russian Federation in Syria by blackmail. According to the information, the penetration of small sabotage detachments into the territory of the Russian Federation is planned from the territory of Georgia through the unrecognized Republic of South Ossetia. The authorities of South Ossetia, together with their Russian colleagues, carried out a number of measures to strengthen control over the border of the republic. Additional border posts were deployed, and patrol squads were reinforced in the most vulnerable places. Roadblocks have been set up on the main roads adjacent to the border with Georgia.
Taking into account mountainous forested areas and difficult terrain in some areas, the Russian side handed over two Mi-24P helicopters to the border service of South Ossetia for air patrol and rapid response to incidents. The infrastructure for the deployment and maintenance of helicopters was created in the shortest possible time. Two helipads are equipped with the necessary equipment and specialists. The Otkrytka FARP is located in the northeast of the republic, and the Podkova FARP is located in the southwest direction.
The plot intersects with the "The border" campaign for the Mi-8MTV2 helicopter.
