Aviation
Air Force Aviation (AVVS) According to its purpose and tasks, it is divided into long-range, military transport, operational-tactical and army aviation, which includes: bomber, attack, fighter, reconnaissance, transport and special aviation.
Organizationally, Air Force aviation consists of air bases that are part of Air Force formations, as well as other units and organizations directly subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force.
Long-Range Aviation (YES) is a means of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Russian Federation and is designed to solve strategic (operational-strategic) and operational tasks in theaters of military operations (strategic directions).
The DA formations and units are armed with strategic and long-range bombers, tanker aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft. Operating primarily in strategic depth, DA formations and units perform the following main tasks: defeating air bases (airfields), missile systems ground-based, aircraft carriers and other surface ships, objects from the enemy reserves, military-industrial facilities, administrative and political centers, energy facilities and hydraulic structures, naval bases and ports, command posts of armed forces associations and air defense operational control centers in the theater of military operations, land communications facilities, landing detachments and convoys; mining from the air. Some of the DA forces may be involved in conducting aerial reconnaissance and performing special tasks.
Long-range aviation is a component of strategic nuclear forces.
DA formations and units are based taking into account its operational-strategic purpose and tasks from Novgorod in the west of the country to Anadyr and Ussuriysk in the east, from Tiksi in the north and to Blagoveshchensk in the south of the country.
The basis of the aircraft fleet is the Tu-160 and Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers, Tu-22M3 long-range missile carrier-bombers, Il-78 tanker aircraft and Tu-22MR reconnaissance aircraft.
Main aircraft armament: aircraft cruise missiles long range and operational-tactical missiles in nuclear and conventional configuration, as well as aerial bombs various purposes and calibers.
A practical demonstration of the spatial indicators of the combat capabilities of the DA command are flights on air patrol Tu-95MS and Tu-160 aircraft to the area of the island of Iceland and the Norwegian Sea; on North Pole and to the Aleutian Islands region; along east coast South America.
Regardless of the organizational structure in which long-range aviation exists and will exist, its combat strength, the characteristics of the aircraft and weapons in service, the main task of long-range aviation on the scale of the Air Force should be considered both nuclear and non-nuclear deterrence of potential adversaries. In the event of the outbreak of war, the DA will carry out tasks to reduce the military-economic potential of the enemy, destroy important military installations, and disrupt state and military control.
Analysis modern views on the purpose of the aircraft, the tasks assigned to it, the predicted conditions for their implementation show that at present and in the future, long-range aviation continues to be the main one impact force Air Force.
Main directions of development of long-range aviation:
- maintaining and increasing operational capabilities to carry out assigned tasks as part of the strategic deterrence forces and forces general purpose through modernization of Tu-160, Tu-95MS, Tu-22MZ bombers with service life extension;
- creating a promising aviation complex long-range aviation (PAK DA).
Military transport aviation (MTA) is a means of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and is intended to solve strategic (operational-strategic), operational and operational-tactical tasks in theaters of military operations (strategic directions).
The military formations and units are armed with military transport aircraft Il-76MD, An-26, An-22, An-124, An-12PP, Mi-8MTV transport helicopters. The main tasks of military aviation formations and units are: landing of units (units) of the Airborne Forces from operational (operational-tactical) airborne assault forces; delivery of weapons, ammunition and materiel to troops operating behind enemy lines; ensuring maneuver of aviation formations and units; transportation of troops, weapons, ammunition and materiel; evacuation of the wounded and sick, participation in peacekeeping operations. Includes air bases, units and units of special forces.
Part of the BTA forces may be involved in performing special tasks.
Main directions of development military transport aviation: maintaining and increasing capabilities to ensure the deployment of the Armed Forces in various theaters of operations, airborne landings, transportation of troops and materiel by air through the purchase of new Il-76MD-90A and An-70, Il-112V aircraft and modernization of Il-76 aircraft MD and An-124.
Operational-tactical aviation designed to solve operational (operational-tactical) and tactical tasks in operations (combat actions) of groupings of troops (forces) in theaters of military operations (strategic directions).
Army Aviation (AA) designed to solve operational-tactical and tactical tasks during army operations (combat operations).
Bomber Aviation (BA), armed with strategic, long-range and operational-tactical bombers, is the main strike weapon of the Air Force and is designed to destroy groupings of troops, aviation, naval forces the enemy, the destruction of his important military, military-industrial, energy facilities, communications centers, conducting aerial reconnaissance and mining from the air, mainly in strategic and operational depth.
Assault Aviation (AS), armed with attack aircraft, is a means of air support for troops (forces) and is intended to destroy troops, ground (sea) objects, as well as enemy aircraft (helicopters) at home airfields (sites), conduct aerial reconnaissance and mine mining from the air primarily on cutting edge, in tactical and operational-tactical depth.
Fighter Aviation (IA), armed with fighter aircraft, is designed to destroy aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and unmanned aircraft in the air and enemy ground (sea) targets.
Reconnaissance aviation (RzA), armed with reconnaissance aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles, is designed to conduct aerial reconnaissance of objects, the enemy, terrain, weather, air and ground radiation and chemical conditions.
Transport aviation (TrA), armed with transport aircraft, is intended for airborne landings, transportation of troops, weapons, military and special equipment and other materiel by air, ensuring maneuver and combat operations of troops (forces), and performing special tasks.
Formations, units, subunits of bomber, attack, fighter, reconnaissance and transport aviation can also be involved in solving other tasks.
Special Aviation (SPA), armed with airplanes and helicopters, is designed to perform special tasks. Units and subdivisions special aviation are directly or operationally subordinate to the commander of the Air Force formation and are involved in: conducting radar reconnaissance and guiding aviation towards air and ground (sea) targets; installation of electronic interference and aerosol curtains; search and rescue of flight crews and passengers; in-flight refueling of aircraft; evacuation of the wounded and sick; providing control and communications; conducting airborne radiation, chemical, biological, engineering intelligence and performing other tasks.
After the adoption of the GPV-2020, officials quite often talk about the rearmament of the Air Force (or, more broadly, the supply of aviation systems to the RF Armed Forces). At the same time, the specific parameters of this rearmament and the size of the Air Force by 2020 are not directly stated. In view of this, many media outlets present their forecasts, but they are presented, as a rule, in tabular form - without arguments or calculation systems.
This article is precisely an attempt to predict the combat strength of the Russian Air Force by specified date. All information was collected from open sources - from media materials. There are no claims to absolute accuracy, because the ways of the State... ...defense order in Russia are inscrutable, and are often a secret even for those who form it.
Total strength of the Air Force
So, let's start with the main thing - the total number of the Air Force by 2020. This number will be made up of newly built aircraft and their modernized “senior colleagues.”
In his program article, V.V. Putin indicated that: “... In the coming decade, more than 600 will join the troops modern aircraft, including fifth generation fighters, over a thousand helicopters" At the same time, the current Minister of Defense S.K. Shoigu recently provided slightly different data: “... By the end of 2020, we will receive about two thousand new aviation complexes from industrial enterprises, including 985 helicopters».
The numbers are of the same order, but there are differences in details. What is this connected with? For helicopters, delivered vehicles may no longer be taken into account. Some changes in the parameters of the GPV-2020 are also possible. But only they will require changes in financing. Theoretically, this is facilitated by the refusal to resume production of the An-124 and a slight reduction in the number of helicopters purchased.
S. Shoigu mentioned, in fact, no less than 700-800 aircraft (we subtract helicopters from the total number). Article by V.V. This does not contradict Putin (more than 600 aircraft), but “more than 600” does not really correlate with “almost 1000”. Yes, and money for the “extra” 100-200 vehicles (even taking into account the refusal of “Ruslans”) will need to be raised additionally, especially if you purchase fighters and frontline bombers(with an average price of a Su-30SM of 40 million dollars per unit, the result is an astronomical figure - up to a quarter of a trillion rubles for 200 vehicles, despite the fact that the PAK FA or Su-35S are more expensive).
Thus, it is most likely that purchases will increase due to cheaper combat training Yak-130 (especially since it is very necessary), attack aircraft and UAVs (it seems that work has intensified, according to media materials). Although the additional purchase of Su-34 up to 140 units. can also happen. Now there are about 24 of them. + about 120 Su-24M. There will be – 124 pcs. But to replace front-line bombers in the 1 x 1 format, another dozen and a half Su-34s will be required.
Based on the data provided, it seems appropriate to take average figures of 700 aircraft and 1000 helicopters. Total – 1700 boards.
Now let's move on to the modernized technology. In general, by 2020 the share of aircraft new technology should be 70%. But this percentage is not the same for different branches and types of troops. For the Strategic Missile Forces - up to 100% (sometimes they say 90%). For the Air Force, figures were given at the same 70%.
I also admit that the share of new equipment will “reach” 80%, but not due to an increase in its purchases, but due to a greater write-off of old machines. However, this article uses a 70/30 ratio. Therefore, the forecast turns out to be moderately optimistic. By simple calculations (X=1700x30/70), we get (approximately) 730 modernized sides. In other words, the strength of the Russian Air Force by 2020 is planned to be in the region of 2430-2500 aircraft and helicopters.
It seems like we have sorted out the total number. Let's move on to specifics. Let's start with helicopters. This is the most covered topic, and deliveries are already in full swing.
Helicopters
By attack helicopters it is planned to have 3 (!) models - (140 pcs.), (96 pcs.), as well as Mi-35M (48 pcs.). A total of 284 units were planned. (not including some vehicles lost in aircraft accidents).
It is well known throughout the world that Russian army- one of the most powerful on our planet. And she is considered as such by right. The air force is part of the Russian Armed Forces and is one of the key units of our army. Therefore, it is necessary to talk about the Air Force in more detail.
A little history
History in the modern sense begins in 1998. It was then that the Air Force we know today was formed. And they were formed as a result of the merger of the so-called troops and the Air Force. True, even now they no longer exist as such. Since last year, 2015, there has been the Aerospace Forces (VKS). By combining space and air forces, it was possible to consolidate potential and resources, as well as concentrate command in one hand - due to which the effectiveness of the forces increased. In any case, this is exactly how the need to form the VKS was justified.
These troops perform many tasks. They repel aggression in the air and space spheres, protect the earth, people, country and important objects from attacks coming from the same place, and provide air support for the combat operations of other Russian military units.
Structure
The Russian Federation (after all, many people are more accustomed to calling them in the old way than VKS) includes many divisions. This is aviation, as well as radio engineering and anti-aircraft in the first place. These are the branches of the Air Force. The structure also includes special troops. These include intelligence, as well as communications of automated control systems and radio engineering support. Without this, the Russian Air Force cannot exist.
TO special forces also includes meteorological, topographic and geodetic, engineering, radiochemical protection, aeronautics, and also engineering. But this is not yet full list. It is also complemented by support, search and rescue, and meteorological services. But, in addition to the above, there are units whose main task is to protect military command and control bodies.
Other structure features
It should be noted that the structure that distinguishes the Air Force of the Russian Federation also has divisions. The first is long-range aviation (YES). The second is military transport (VTA). The third is operational tactical (OTA) and, finally, the fourth is army (AA). But that's not all. Units can include special, transport, reconnaissance, fighter aircraft, as well as attack and bomber aircraft. And each has its own tasks, which the Air Force obliges them to carry out.
The composition still has a certain foundation on which the entire structure rests. Naturally, these are air bases and brigades belonging to the Aerospace Defense Forces.
The situation in the 21st century
Every person who understands this topic at least a little knows perfectly well that in the 90s the air force of the Russian Federation was actively degrading. And all because of the fact that the number personnel troops and their level of training was very low. Plus, the technology was not particularly new, and there were not enough airfields. In addition, the structure was not funded, and therefore there were practically no flights. But in the 2000s the situation began to improve. To be more precise, everything began to progress in 2009. It was then that fruitful and capital work began regarding the repair and modernization of the entire fleet of the Russian Air Force.
Perhaps the impetus for this was the statement of the commander-in-chief of the troops, A. N. Zelin. In 2008, he said that the aerospace defense of our state was in a catastrophic state. Therefore, the purchase of equipment and improvement of the entire system as a whole began.
Symbolism
The Air Force flag is very bright and noticeable. This is a cloth blue color, in the center of which there is an image of two silver propellers. They seem to intersect with each other. Along with them is depicted anti-aircraft gun. And the background is made up of silvery wings. In general, it’s quite original and symbolic. Golden rays seem to emanate from the center of the cloth (there are 14 of them). By the way, their location is strictly regulated - this is not a chaotic choice. If you turn on your fantasy and imagination, it begins to seem as if this emblem is in the middle of the sun, blocking it - that’s why the rays.
And if you look into history, you can understand that this is so. Because in Soviet time the flag was a blue banner with a golden sun, in the middle of which was a red star with a hammer and sickle in the center. And just below are silver wings that seem to be attached to a black propeller ring.
It is worth noting that the Federation, together with the US Air Force, planned to conduct joint anti-terrorism exercises in 2008. This should have happened on Far East. The scenario was planned as follows: terrorists hijack a plane at the airport, and troops prevent the consequences. The Russian side was supposed to bring four fighters into action, search rescue services and a long-range radar detection aircraft. The US Air Force required the participation of a civilian airliner and fighter aircraft. Plus the notorious plane. However, shortly before the planned event, literally a week, it was announced that it had been decided to celebrate the exercise. Many believe that the reason was the strained relations between NATO and Russia.
Formation of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces of the Russian Federation (1992–1998)Decay process Soviet Union and the events that followed noticeably weakened the Air Force and Air Defense Forces (ADF). A significant part of the aviation group (about 35%) remained on the territory of the former Soviet republics (more than 3,400 aircraft, including 2,500 combat aircraft).
Also on their territories remained the most prepared for deployment military aviation airfield network, which in comparison with the USSR was reduced by almost half in the Russian Federation (primarily in the Western strategic direction). The level of flight and combat training of Air Force pilots has sharply decreased.
Due to the disbandment large quantity radio engineering units, the continuous radar field over the territory of the state disappeared. Was significantly weakened and general system air defense of the country.
Russia, the last of the former USSR republics, began building the Air Force and Air Defense Forces as an integral part of its own Armed Forces (Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 7, 1992). The priorities of this construction were to prevent a significant decrease in the level of combat effectiveness of formations and units of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces, to reduce personnel through the revision and optimization of their organizational structure, to remove obsolete weapons and military equipment from service, etc.
During this period, the combat strength of the Air Force and Air Defense Aviation was represented almost exclusively by fourth-generation aircraft (Tu-22M3, Su-24M/MR, Su-25, Su-27, MiG-29 and MiG-31). The total strength of the Air Force and Air Defense Aviation was reduced almost threefold - from 281 to 102 air regiments.
As of January 1, 1993, the Russian Air Force had combat strength: two commands (long-range and military transport aviation (MTA)), 11 aviation formations, 25 air divisions, 129 air regiments (including 66 combat and 13 military transport). The aircraft fleet amounted to 6,561 aircraft, excluding aircraft stored at reserve bases (including 2,957 combat ones).
At the same time, measures were taken to withdraw formations, formations and air force units from the territories of countries far and near abroad, including the 16th Air Army (AA) from the territory of Germany, 15 AA from the Baltic countries.
Period 1992 – early 1998 became a time of great painstaking work governing bodies Air Force and Air Defense Forces to develop a new concept of military development of the Russian Armed Forces, its aerospace defense with the implementation of the principle of defense sufficiency in the development of the Air Defense Forces and offensive character in the use of the Air Force.
During these years, the Air Force had to take a direct part in the armed conflict on the territory of the Chechen Republic (1994–1996). Subsequently, the experience gained allowed us to more thoughtfully and with high efficiency carry out the active phase of the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus in 1999–2003.
In the 1990s, due to the beginning of the collapse of the unified anti-aircraft field of the Soviet Union and former countries- members of the Warsaw Treaty Organization, there was an urgent need to recreate its analogue within the borders of the former Soviet republics. In February 1995, the Commonwealth countries Independent States(CIS) an Agreement was signed on the creation of a Joint Air Defense System of the CIS member states, designed to solve security problems state borders in the airspace, as well as for conducting coordinated collective actions of air defense forces to repel a possible aerospace attack on one of the countries or a coalition of states.
However, assessing the process of accelerating the physical aging of weapons and military equipment, the Defense Committee State Duma The Russian Federation came to disappointing conclusions. As a result, a new concept of military development was developed, where it was planned, even before 2000, to reorganize the branches of the Armed Forces, reducing their number from five to three. As part of this reorganization, two independent branches of the Armed Forces were to be united in one form: the Air Force and the Air Defense Forces.
New branch of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
In accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated July 16, 1997 No. 725 “On priority measures to reform the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and improve their structure”, by January 1, 1999, the the new kind Armed Forces - Air Force. IN short time The Air Force Main Command developed a regulatory framework for a new branch of the Armed Forces, which made it possible to ensure the continuity of management of Air Force formations, maintaining their combat readiness at the required level, and performing combat duty missions air defense, as well as conducting operational training activities.
By the time the Russian Armed Forces were united into a single branch, the Air Force consisted of 9 operational formations, 21 aviation divisions, 95 air regiments, including 66 combat aviation regiments, 25 separate aviation squadrons and detachments based at 99 airfields. The total aircraft fleet was 5,700 aircraft (including 20% training) and more than 420 helicopters.
The Air Defense Forces included: an operational-strategic formation, 2 operational, 4 operational-tactical formations, 5 air defense corps, 10 air defense divisions, 63 units of anti-aircraft missile forces, 25 fighter air regiments, 35 units of radio-technical troops, 6 formations and reconnaissance units and 5 parts electronic warfare. In service there were: 20 aircraft of the A-50 radar surveillance and guidance complex, more than 700 air defense fighters, more than 200 anti-aircraft missile divisions and 420 radio engineering units with radar stations various modifications.
As a result of the activities carried out, a new organizational structure Air Force, which included two air armies: the 37th Air Army of the Supreme High Command ( strategic purpose) (VA VGK (SN) and 61st VA VGK (VTA). Instead air armies front-line aviation formed air force and air defense armies, operationally subordinate to the commanders of the military districts. The Moscow Air Force and Air Defense District was created in the Western strategic direction.
Further construction of the organizational structure of the Air Force was carried out in accordance with the Plan for the Construction and Development of the Armed Forces for 2001–2005, approved in January 2001 by the President of the Russian Federation.
In 2003, army aviation was transferred to the Air Force, and in 2005–2006. – part of connections and parts military air defense, equipped with S-300V anti-aircraft missile systems (ZRS) and Buk complexes. In April 2007, the Air Force adopted an anti-aircraft weapon missile system new generation S-400 "Triumph", designed to destroy all modern and promising aerospace attack weapons.
At the beginning of 2008, the Air Force included: an operational-strategic formation (KSpN), 8 operational and 5 operational-tactical formations (air defense corps), 15 formations and 165 units. In August of the same year, units of the Air Force took part in the Georgian-South Ossetian military conflict (2008) and in the operation to force Georgia to peace. During the operation, the Air Force carried out 605 air sorties and 205 helicopter sorties, including 427 air sorties and 126 helicopter sorties to carry out combat missions.
The military conflict revealed certain shortcomings in the organization of combat training and the control system Russian aviation, as well as the need to significantly update the Air Force aircraft fleet.
Air Force in the new look of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
In 2008, the transition to the formation of a new look for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (including the Air Force) began. In the course of the activities carried out, the Air Force switched to a new organizational structure, more appropriate modern conditions and the realities of time. Air Force and Air Defense commands were formed, subordinate to the newly created operational-strategic commands: Western (headquarters - St. Petersburg), Southern (headquarters - Rostov-on-Don), Central (headquarters - Yekaterinburg) and Eastern ( headquarters - Khabarovsk).
The Air Force High Command was assigned the tasks of planning and organizing combat training, the long-term development of the Air Force, as well as training the leadership of command and control bodies. With this approach, responsibility for the preparation and use of military aviation forces and means was distributed and duplication of functions was excluded, as in Peaceful time, and for the period of hostilities.
In 2009–2010 a transition was made to a two-level (brigade-battalion) system of command and control of the Air Force. As a result total Air Force formations were reduced from 8 to 6, all air defense formations (4 corps and 7 air defense divisions) were reorganized into 11 aerospace defense brigades. At the same time, active renewal of the aircraft fleet is taking place. Fourth generation aircraft are being replaced by their new modifications, as well as modern types aircraft (helicopters) having wider combat capabilities and flight performance.
These include: Su-34 front-line bombers, Su-35 and Su-30SM multirole fighters, various modifications of the long-range supersonic all-weather interceptor fighter MiG-31, a new generation medium-range military transport aircraft An-70, light military transport An-140-100 type aircraft, a modified Mi-8 attack military transport helicopter, multi-role helicopter medium range with Mi-38 gas turbine engines, combat helicopters Mi-28 (various modifications) and Ka-52 Alligator.
As part of the further improvement of the air defense (aerospace) defense system, the development of a new generation of S-500 air defense systems is currently underway, in which it is planned to apply the principle of separately solving the problems of destroying ballistic and aerodynamic targets. The main task of the complex is to combat combat equipment of medium-range ballistic missiles, and, if necessary, intercontinental missiles ballistic missiles at the final section of the trajectory and, within certain limits, at the middle section.
Modern air forces are the most important integral part Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Currently, they are designed to solve the following tasks: repelling aggression in the aerospace sphere and protecting command posts of the highest echelons of state and military administration, administrative and political centers, industrial economic regions, the most important objects of the country’s economy and infrastructure, groupings of troops (forces); destruction of enemy troops (forces) and objects using conventional, high-precision and nuclear weapons, as well as for air support and support of combat operations of troops (forces) of other branches of the Armed Forces and branches of the armed forces.

Air Force is a type of armed forces designed to protect the bodies of higher state and military command, strategic nuclear forces, troop groups, important administrative and industrial centers and regions of the country from reconnaissance and air strikes, to gain air superiority, fire and nuclear destruction enemy from the air, increasing mobility and supporting the actions of formations of the armed forces, conducting comprehensive reconnaissance and performing special tasks.
During the reform of the RF Armed Forces, two types of armed forces were merged - the Air Force and Air Defense. The essence of this integration of the Air Defense Forces and the Air Force was not a mechanical connection, but to give the combined form better parameters and a dynamic character. The combat readiness of the Air Defense Forces did not suffer from such a unification. Anti-aircraft, missile, radio technical troops, fighter aircraft, air defense support units. At the same time, the bulk of regiments, brigades, and air defense divisions have been preserved and strengthened. Specific gravity Air defense in its combined form is about 60%. The air defense system remains a reliable shield, capable, as before, of providing air cover for particularly important government, military administrative and industrial facilities. Central command post The Air Force became the Air Defense Central Command Center, because it turned out to be more suitable for solving a set of tasks assigned to the united species. Thus, the Air Force Central Control Center now also controls the air defense forces of the Commonwealth countries (Belarus and Kazakhstan). The Air Force Control Center allows you to control the territory and state border of almost everything former USSR, with the exception of the Baltic states.
A type of modern military aviation and air defense forces.
The Russian Air Force consists from associations, connections and military units and include types of aviation: long-range, military transport, front-line (it includes bomber, attack, fighter, reconnaissance aircraft), army, as well as types of anti-aircraft forces: anti-aircraft rocket troops, radio technical troops.
Long-range aviation – the main striking force of the Air Force, capable of effectively hitting important targets of aviation groups and cruise missile carrier ships sea-based, energy facilities and higher military and government controlled, nodes of railway, road and sea communications.
Military transport aviation- the main means of landing troops and military equipment in the interests of operations in continental and ocean theaters of war, it is the most mobile means of delivering materiel, military equipment, food, units and units to specified areas different types Armed Forces and branches of the military.
Front-line bomber and attack aircraft - designed primarily for air support of the Ground Forces in all types of military operations (defense, offensive, counter-offensive). Front-line reconnaissance aviation is intended to conduct aerial reconnaissance in the interests of all types of armed forces and branches of the military. Front-line fighter aviation is designed to destroy enemy air attack weapons while solving problems of covering armed forces groups, economic regions, administrative and political centers, military and other objects.
Army Aviation – designed for fire support of the Ground Forces. It is also entrusted with the tasks of combat and logistics support. During the battle, army aviation strikes at enemy troops, destroys his airborne assault forces, raiding, advanced and outflanking detachments; provides landing and air support for its landing forces, fights enemy helicopters, destroys its nuclear missiles, tanks and other armored vehicles.
Anti-aircraft missile forces - designed to cover troops and facilities from enemy air attacks.
Radio technical troops - are designed to detect enemy air attack weapons in the air, identify them, escort them, notify the command, troops and civil defense authorities about them, to monitor the flights of their aircraft.
Armament and military equipment Air Force
The basis of fighter aircraft is the MiG-29, MiG-31 and Su-27. Their modernization provides for an increase in combat effectiveness through the use of new on-board equipment.
For development purposes attack aircraft are being developed prototypes Su's new car. As soon as they are ready, they will be put into production. There are new modifications of the Su-25 attack aircraft.
Reducing the number of personnel and the number of personnel operated aviation weapons and equipment will be compensated quality parameters new and modernized samples. The new Il-76MF aircraft has passed flight tests. The An-124 Ruslan aircraft has a great future, as does its modified version, the An-124-100. There are no analogues of this machine in the world and none are expected in the near future.
Conclusions:
- The Air Force consists of long-range and military transport aviation, front-line bomber and attack aircraft, front-line reconnaissance aviation, front-line fighter aviation, army aviation and radio technical troops.
- The Air Force is designed for air strikes against enemy groups, in their rear and transport.
- The Air Force is leading aerial reconnaissance and organize air transportation.
- Military transport aviation of the Air Force is capable of landing and airborne troops, transporting troops and military equipment over long distances.
