This was reported on September 1 by the Russian Defense Ministry. “As part of the implementation of the target tasks set by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation for the delivery of particularly in-demand weapons and equipment to the troops, the Aerospace Forces crew accepted the Il-76MD-90A aircraft,” the department said in a statement. The captain of the crew who accepted the aircraft gave the aircraft's technical characteristics high marks. "The Il-76 is a multifunctional aircraft. The new models are equipped with even more precise onboard equipment, which increases the efficiency of the combat missions assigned to our regiment," he noted. On August 12, the fleet of operational-tactical aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces was replenished with new Su-34 fighter-bombers. The aircraft have undergone a full cycle of factory tests. They have been tested in operating modes. At the moment, the Su-34s have flown to their home airfield.
