Flashpoint Russia: Russia's Air Power: Capabilities and Structure

A fight between a MiG-21 and a green dragon -- who would win? Buy this book and one on dinosaurs and find out for yourself.Every book on Soviet airpower I read teaches me a little something new. These jets were often over-powered, with bigger engines than a NATO jet of similar size. They were shorter range but that made them lighter and hence more maneuverable.What a great collection of photographs here. I love this book. It lets me fly through Russian skies without getting shot down. I'm happy. And alive.My friend flies Eagles in the Japanese Air Force and he says that hardly a day goes by that he doesn't scramble and intercept Godzilla.My 3 favorite aviation art books are:- Icon by Frank Frazetta- Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

Great book covering the many different types of aircraft and base locations and the future trends and development of new weapon systems is covered with lots of pictures and drawing of weapons' system.

Butowski is a long term observer of the Russian and Soviet Air Forces and his depth and breadth in this area is reflected in this work.This book is widely used by professionals as a reference on the Russian Voenno-Kosmicheskiye Sili (VKS), and other component providers of air power in Russia.With the operational failure of the Russian VKS in the current (Feb-March 2022) conflict, this book is now especially valuable in providing insights into the structure and functioning of a service that was ill equipped to perform what it was asked to do.A must read item for anybody intending to understand the air war over Ukraine.

Dieses Buch dokumentiert eindrucksvoll den aktuellen Stand der russischen Luftwaffe. Einsatzmaschinen, Strukturen, Organisation alles übersichtlich in Text, Tabellen und Bildern. Mit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts konnte Russland seine Luftwaffe endlich modernisieren, der Ölpreis war gestiegen. So fanden in den letzten 20 Jahren viele neue Flugzeuge, Kampfjets, Transporter und Hubschrauber den Weg in diese Streitkraft, die nach wie vor großes Ansehen geniesst. Interessanter Überblick, empfehlenswertes Buch zum Thema !

Moderno, aggiornatissimo (risale infatti all'anno in corso) bella carta patinata, belle foto a colori e testo molto completo relativo all'organigramma e alla struttura della Forza Aerea russa. Davvero completo!
