The 7th Bomber Aviation Regiment was formed in 1951.
In January 1992 the regiment took the oath of loyalty to the Ukrainian people.
In October 2005 the former 32 Independent Reconnaissance Aviation Squadron from Kolomyia joined the brigade as its reconnaissance aviation squadron.
In 2005–2006 the Brigade became the first Air Force formation to be composed of professional soldiers and not conscripts.
On 20 August 2014, Su-24, bort number Whute 27 was shot down by a Pantsir-S1, the crew survived.
In August 2019 a Su-24M took part in the international air show “Gdynia Aerobaltik 2019” in Poland. This represented the first participation of a Ukrainian Su-24 to an international air show.
In December 2019 Su-24Ms from the 7th Tactical Aviation Brigade completed air-to-air refueling training for the first time in 20 years.
According to Forbes, 18 bombers were shot down by Russian Forces as of 22 February 2024, but despite being a priority target for the Russians, the 7th Brigade has managed to remain active by scattering its forces to neighbouring air bases (or even roads and highways) whenever missiles are detected by Ukrainian radars or NATO satellites, while the Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG cruis missiles allows their Su-24s to strike targets without entering Russian air defenses range. In February 2024, the Brigade commander Col. Yevhen Bulatsyk told the Voice of America that the brigade not only managed to make up for its losses of Su-24M/MR bombers, but expand its numbers by restoring as many grounded aircraft as possible.

Unlike other shops we transport this model from the factory in China to our warehouse without using air freight. We love airplanes as much as you do, but air freight has a huge environmental impact. Air freight is also expensive, by using other means of transport we can offer models for a lower price.
The only advantage of air freight is that it's very fast. But we don't think this is more important than the disadvantages. If you reserve a model in advance you will be sure you can buy it from us. At a lower price, with less environmental impact.
