Russian Air Force.
The Russian Air Force is the air force of the
Russian Federation and previously the
Soviet Union .
It was incorporated in its present form in
1930 and lasted until
1991 , when most of it remained under the control of
Russia. But it can be considered is the descendant of
Russian Imperial Air Forces formed in 1910 .
The first Russian Air Force, was born in 1910 under the name of the
Russian Imperial Army air . She took part in the
First World War in opposition to the
German and
Austro-Hungarian armies. In
1915 , she became a full-fledged branch of the military, as formerly part of the
Military Engineers.
Nevertheless, the
Imperial Russian Air Force at that time far from competing with the air forces of the
Central Powers, between
1914 and
1918 had only 5000 were produced in Russia against 45,
000 in
Germany .
It was in 1918 , in the midst of the
Russian Civil War , that created a new Air Force under the designation of Air
Fleet of workers and peasants, under the tight control of the
Red Army . In 1930 , it acquired its independence and takes its final name: Voienno-vozduchnyie sily. She knows his baptism of fire, a few years later, when confronted on several occasions,
Japanese aircraft in the sky of the
Far East, but also by sending many "voluntary" participation in the war
Spain . It was at that time the most powerful air force in numbers, it has been often pointed to the hardware, but its organization and tactics, whose deficiencies were compounded by the
Great Purges , inadequate in addition its equipment, although many begin to age. The air war during the
Winter War and especially the beginning of
Operation Barbarossa , will highlight its weaknesses, and it will suffer during this period of huge losses.
The
Mikoyan MiG-29 (
NATO code
Fulcrum) is a fighter air superiority of
Soviet developed in the early
1970s and whose first flight took place on October 6,
1977 . It entered service in the
Soviet Army in
1983 and is still used today by the Russian Air Force and many other countries. More than 1,
100 copies have so far been built [when?] . It is the 4th most widely used fighter in the world in
2012, according to one estimate, 856 active rigs or 5% of the world fleet of combat aircraft .
The
Sukhoi Su-24 (
NATO reporting name Fencer) is a bomber all-time first-line
Russian . In total, about 1400 copies have been produced.
When the
Soviets saw the first images of the
F-111 US in 1964, they realized they had the delay in the field of bomber penetration at low altitude.
Having to oppose only modest and old
Yak-28 Brewer and
Ilyushin Il-28 Beagle , they inspired the design of the US to design their own.
The
Sukhoi Su-27 ( NATO code
Flanker) is a fighter seater Russian designed by the engineering Sukhoi (

In 2009, the aircraft is in service in the countries of the former Soviet Union and in several other countries, particularly in
Africa and
Asia (especially
China under the name
Sheyang J-11 and
India ) . The export price is about 35 million
US dollars by air, or $ 70 million with a loan of ten years.
The
Sukhoi Su-34 (export designation
Su-32) ( NATO code Fullback) is a bomber tactics Russian capabilities with anti-surface warfare .
The
Sukhoi Su-25 ( NATO code
Frogfoot) is an aircraft for ground attack , close air support and attack anti-tank developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s was built a thousand copies and been exported to many foreign countries. The
Su-25 was still in use in several armies in
2013. It is the 8th most used aircraft fighter in the world in 2012, according to one estimate, 847 activity units or 3% of the world fleet of aircraft combat . It can be regarded as the descendant of the
Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik .
