List of military aircraft of the Soviet Union and the CIS

From Alfawiki


This catalogue of military aircraft utilized by the Soviet Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) encompasses experimental models, prototypes, and fully operational types from all time periods. It covers indigenous Soviet designs, Soviet-manufactured replicas of foreign aircraft, as well as foreign-built planes that were incorporated into the armed forces of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and its CIS successor states. The timeline for service entry is based on the year the aircraft officially joined military service, rather than the date of its maiden flight as some references might indicate. Production figures provided are generally approximate and represent all variants produced for the USSR unless specified otherwise.

In accordance with Wikipedia standards, the original Soviet or Russian designations and names are used for these aircraft instead of the post-World War II NATO reporting names; however, NATO names serve as redirects to assist navigation. The Western intelligence reporting names listed here are included solely for convenience and do not represent a comprehensive list.
