Soviet Air Force

The Soviet Air Force was the aerial military branch of the Soviet Union, responsible for defending airspace, conducting aerial combat, and supporting ground and naval forces during wartime. It included various aircraft such as fighters, bombers, and transport planes, and was known for its large size and advanced technology throughout the Cold War era. The Soviet Air Force played a crucial role in Cold War deterrence and strategic operations, aiming to project power globally and maintain national security. It was eventually reorganized into the Russian Air Force after the Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991.
