Illustrated throughout with detailed artworks with authentic markings
and exhaustive specifications, this compact guide covers all the
military aircraft deployed by the Russian Air Force from the end of the
Cold War to the present.
The Russian Air Force is the world's second-largest military air arm,
capable of deploying more than 4,000 military aircraft. Organized by
type, this book includes every significant aircraft used by the Russian
military over the last 30 years, from the latest Sukhoi Su-57 stealth
fighter and Kamov Ka-50 "Black Shark" attack helicopter to the evergreen
Sukhoi Su-25 close air-support aircraft and the venerable Ilyushin Il-76
airlifter transport. The guide is illustrated with profile artworks,
three-views, and dynamic view artworks of the more famous aircraft still
in service, such as the Sukhoi Su-27 "Flanker," Mikoyan MiG-29 multirole
fighter, and Tupolev Tu-160 heavy bomber. Modern Russian Military
Aircraft is an essential reference for modelers and aviation
enthusiasts with a passion for modern military aircraft.
