china southern airlines Russia establishes ‘most powerful’ Air Division

The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced the establishment of a new composite aviation division in the Central Military District (CMD), Nezavisimoye Voyennoye Obozreniye (Independent Military Review, NVO) reported on 23 October. NVO’s MoD sources claim it will be Russia’s ‘most powerful’ air division.
The 21st Composite Aviation Division will combine existing units into a larger formation with higher level command and control for missions in the ‘southern and south-eastern operational-strategic directions. NVO concludes the new division could reflect greater Russian concern with threats in Central Asia and China. To cover more distant targets, however, its aircraft would have to redeploy to airfields further east or west.
The division will include two MiG-31 interceptor regiments based at Perm and Kansk. It will have a fighter-bomber regiment at Shagol, near Chelyabinsk, with an Su-34 squadron and two Su-24M2 squadrons. Shagol will be the division’s headquarters.
NVO reports the new division’s MiG-31 regiments will be armed with the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missile.
An existing CMD helicopter base at Kamensk-Uralsky will also become an army aviation brigade on 1 December, slated to receive 20 Mi-24P helicopters to add to its current Mi-8 MTV-5 force, according to a 26 October MoD press release.
