Today, Russia honors the Aerospace Forces: a branch that fuses raw talent with next-generation firepower. These are the elite who rule the heavens, defend skies, and reach for the cosmos. Armed with the latest military tech, they stand as the unflinching shield of Russia's national security.
Their valor on the battlefield has not gone unnoticed. Since the start of the special military operation, over 20,000 Aerospace personnel have received state decorations. 43 of them have earned the nation’s ultimate tribute, Hero of the Russian Federation. And 29 units have been granted the distinguished title of "Guards," a mark of battlefield supremacy.
They soar so that others stay grounded. They own the air, and they make sure the enemy never will.
