Russia's five military regions

Russia's five military regions are: Western Military Region, Central Military Region, Southern Military Region, Eastern Military Region and Northern Fleet.

1, Western Military Region: On August 15, the Western Military Region announced the reorganization of the 6th "Leningrad" Army Air Force and Air Defense Force. The new formation merged military forces, mainly 1 Air Force Command and its air defense units, and absorbed some ground troops and naval assets in the western theater. The military headquarters will be located in St. Petersburg, and the name chosen by this army has a strong symbolic significance of World War II.

2. Central Military Region: This military region is located in the middle of Russian territory, and its jurisdiction area is equivalent to that of the Eastern Military Region. The headquarters of the military region is located in Yekaterinburg. Although its strength is relatively weak, it is mainly used to support other military regions in wartime. On August 4th, 20 15, the Central Military Region announced the merger of relevant troops stationed in Volga River area, Ural Mountain and Siberia, including the 2nd Air Force and some northern fleets, and merged into 14 Army Air Force and Air Defense Force.

3. Southern Military Region: Our news agency reported in August 1 1 that the Southern Military Region will purchase about 50 latest aircraft and helicopters in the near future. But did not specify the specific model. The air force of the Southern Military Region includes the 4th Army Air Force and the air defense force, which underwent considerable restructuring during the conflict in Georgia in 2008. The army has conducted extensive air-to-air combat training in southern Russia where the climatic conditions are more suitable.

4. Eastern Military Region: 1 1 Air Force is a new component of the air and space defense force in the Eastern Theater. The new structure includes the troops of the Third Air Force and the Air Defense Command stationed in the Far East and East Siberia.

5. Northern Fleet: Although the upgraded Northern Fleet is called the Fifth Military Region, it is actually a naval force, not an army military region in the traditional sense. Murmansk, the capital of the Northern Fleet, plays an important role in Russia's military system, especially in the security affairs in the Arctic.
