2011 results of the year in pictures: Air Force - part of 1
I bring to your attention a photo review dedicated to new or upgraded aircraft for various purposes, replenished the ranks of the domestic Air Force last year.
Given the specifics of the topic, I did not set a goal to find and upload photos of ALL boards, and why make life easier for “likely friends”? I also ask you to take into account that it’s almost impossible to find publicly available exact information about the transfer of an airplane (i.e. the date of signing of the acceptance certificate), unlike civil aviation. Yes, and official press releases on military topics rarely spoil aircraft manufacturing companies, a pleasant exception is the Sukhoi company. Therefore, some dates are tentative.
In general, please do not judge strictly! Any additions are welcome!
