Concurrently with the fielding of Mi-28N combat helicopters with the Army Aviation of the Russian Air Force the delivery of Kamov Ka-52 multirole combat helicopters to RusAF continues.

The first production-standard Ilyushin Il-76MD-90A (c/n 01-03) airlifter was rolled out of the final assembly shop of the Aviastar-SP close corporation in Ulyanovsk on 17 June 2014. It was brought to the Spektr-Avia company in Ulyanovsk for painting, after which it will start its ground and then flight trials. Aviastar Director General Sergei Dementyev said: "Having pooled their efforts, the United Aircraft Corporation, UAC - Transport Aircraft JSC and the developer, Ilyushin, have completed the key stage of the production of the first production-standard Il-76MD-90A under the deal clinched with the Russian Defence Ministry. The aircraft shall be delivered as soon as this year".

The fifth flying prototype of the Sukhoi’s prospective fifth-generation fighter (PAK FA, T-50) made its maiden flight in Komsomolsk-on-Amur at the KnAAZ aircraft plant of the Sukhoi company on 27 October 2013. The plane was piloted by the 1st class test pilot Roman Kondratyev. The fighter aircraft spent 50 minutes in the air and landed safely on the factory airfield runway. The test flight was a success and in full accordance with the flight plan. The stability of the aircraft and the powerplant were tested during the flight. The aircraft performed well in all phases of the planned flight program. The pilot confirmed reliability of all systems and equipment.

The advanced Kamov Ka-52 multirole combat helicopter is to make its debut at the current Le Bourget air show. The Russian Army Aviation has been taken delivery of the type for two years, with yet another air base (in the south of Russia this time) having accepted a new batch recently.

The Ka-52 passed its official tests in 2011 and was cleared for service entry. The delivery of production-standard helicopters to the Russian Defence Ministry began in December 2010, when the first four Ka-52s built by the Russian Helicopters’ Progress company in Arsenyev were shipped to the Army Aviation Combat Training and Conversion Centre in Torzhok. In May 2011, the delivery started to Chernigovka air base in the Russian Far East, where the Russian Air Force had activated its first full-ledged 12-ship Ka-52 air squadron by the end of the year. In 2012, Chernigovka air base took delivery at least five more Ka-52s. In addition, five new Ka-52s built by Progress by late 2011 were fielded with CTCC in Torzhok early in 2012.

In the coming several years, the Russian Air Force shall field almost 50 cutting-edge Sukhoi Su-35S supermanoeuvrable multirole fighters in production by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Plant, a subsidiary of the Sukhoi company.  Two years ago, the first production-standard aircraft of the type were delivered to the Russian Defence Ministry for the official trials, and in 2012, the first stage of the trials resulted in a preliminary acceptance report clearing the type's full-rate production and fielding with combat units. To date, the Air Force has taken delivery of as many as 10 production-standard Su-35S fighters that are due to the Training and Operational Evaluation Centre in the city of Lipetsk in the near future. A bit later, Su-35S aircraft are to be welcomed in Kubinka AFB in the Moscow Region, where they are to replace the Su-27s flown by the legendary aerobatics team, the Russian Knights. In addition, a preliminary decision has been taken on the feasibility of selling a batch of Su-35 fighters to the People's Republic of China. Talks with other potential buyers are under way.
