Phoenix Wings arose as an attempt to provide support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine following heavy losses suffered during the early stages of the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Phoenix Wings mainly deals with technical support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but also delivers medicine to the wounded during the fighting, carries out restoration of Ukrainian military buildings, and so on.

The need for it has become particularly acute after the separatists in the Donbas destroyed an IL-76 aircraft, resulting in the deaths of 49 people who were on board.
