List of regiments of the Russian Air Force

This page will slowly attempt to list all the regiments in Russian Air Force service since May 7, 1992, the date on which Boris Yeltsin decreed the establishment of the Russian Ministry of Defence.

Primary initial source for this listing is Piotr Butowski, 'Force Report: Russian Air Force,' Air Forces Monthly, July and August 2007.

Other sources included Jane's World Air Forces, Issue 0, March 1996.

Listings of Guards titles cannot yet be considered definitive; there are no doubt errors and omissions in the table.

Although the titles of the regiments are translated, the regiment type sort uses the transliterated Russian abbreviation: Other acronyms include: The Russian word отдельный can be translated as either 'Independent,' 'Separate' or (rarely) 'Detached'; it designates a unit which is directly subordinate to a formation commander without an intermediate echelon, such as an Aviation Division.
