Air Force of Russia 100 years

The test pilot Magomed Tolboev about the Russian Air Force: the honored condition of the Russian Air Force Honored Power Power Pibrier called the lousy. “If the war is tomorrow, the combat readiness is 15%. This is the resource of the park, there is no park. We are at the level of June 22, 41. ”

At the moment, the Air Force includes about 4000 units of equipment, including 1300 helicopters. If you believe Talboev, only 600 units are in combat readiness. By 2020, 1973 units are subject to disposal, in fact, half. The plans, of course, are rainbow, we should replace the written technique with a new one, but in fact, the update is extremely sluggish, especially on airplanes: in 2010 - 21 new aircraft, 2011 - 28, 2012 - 35. The bulk of the aircraft was released back in the USSR, and now produced, these are usually designed in Soviet times. They were good in the 80s and 90s, but time is passing, modernization can be renewed and increased characteristics, but not endlessly.

The legendary strategic bomber, the Air Force symbol, the Tu-160 "White Swan", made the first flight already in 1981. And in service costs only 16 units.

Purely Russian Su-35 aircraft in service so far only 4 pieces.

T-50 Last development is unknown when it goes into the series at all.
