[[File:Flag of the Russian Air Force.svg|thumb|180px|Flag of the Russian Air Force]] [[File:Roundel of Russia.svg|thumb|180px|The marking on Russian Air Force aircraft]] The '''Russian Air Force''' is the air wing of the [[Armed_Forces_of_the_Russian_Federation|Russian Military]]. It is the world's second largest [[air force]] after the [[United States Air Force]]. It is also the only air force other than the United States Air Force who use modern [[strategic bomber]]s. The Russian Navy also has its own [[Naval Aviation]] force. == History == During the [[Cold War]], the [[Soviet Air Force]] (and Air Defense Force) were as big as the [[United States Air Force]]. However, after the collapse of [[Soviet Union]], the Russian Air Force was made much smaller because Russia did not have enough [[money]] to keep everything. However, spending on the Russian Air Force increased in the early [[21st century]]. {{military-stub}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Air forces]] [[Category:Russian military organizations]]
