Exclusive patch from pilot Smereka
The patch from a pilot of the Ukrainian Air Force is not just a souvenir, but a true symbol of Ukrainian aviation, associated with Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Smerechansky of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, better known by his call sign “Smereka.” He is a MiG-29 pilot, commander of the 114th Tactical Aviation Brigade, a 2nd class pilot with over 200 combat sorties, and a full recipient of the Order “For Courage.” He is one of those pilots who defend Ukrainian skies every day, conduct combat sorties, and are an example of courage for the entire aviation community.
A small teddy bear plays a special role in his story. This toy was given to the pilot by his friends, and since 2018, it has been flying with him on combat missions. It is this image that formed the basis of the patch design: a teddy bear wearing a helmet, goggles, and a pilot's jacket is depicted against the backdrop of a combat aircraft. The bear was not chosen by chance — it is the embodiment of strength, endurance, and at the same time, good character. This symbolism combines the traits most associated with Smereka himself: courage in battle and sincerity in everyday life.
Each patch has unique collectible value, as it comes with Ivan Smerechansky's signature. This makes it not only a stylish accessory, but also a piece of the modern history of the Ukrainian Air Force. The patch can be worn on a backpack or jacket, or kept in a collection of aviation symbols as a unique sign of respect for Ukrainian pilots.
