Russian Air Power


Fixed-Wing | Rotary-Wing Aircraft

Taken as a whole, the modern Russian Air Force is a mix of advanced modern types fielded alongside aging, Cold War / Soviet-era designs. The service ranks only behind the massive United States Air Force in number and the inventory covers a broad range of sortie types including interception, air superiority, strike, bomber, CAS, and support types. A large collection of fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms are showcased resulting in a fairly good balance of the two.
