    "Kosyachnaya" some kind of infographics of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
    1. A-50 are listed both among reconnaissance aircraft and AWACS and U aircraft (separately presented), the combat strength for these aircraft is duplicated;
    2. Grammar errors and repetition of aircraft types - Tu-22М3;
    3. The quantitative composition is incorrectly presented - Be-12 "Seagull" amphibious aircraft
    In total, taking into account the experimental aircraft was produced 142 machines.
    https://topwar.ru/80681-samolety-dolgozhiteli-be-
    12.html, so that there can’t be any 143 aircraft.
    As of 2015, the Russian Navy is still armed with 7 amphibious aircraft of this type, and a number of aircraft are also in service with the Navy of Vietnam and Ukraine.

    4. The number of “passenger” airplanes is also doubtful, most likely, all auxiliary (and combat training aviation BTA / DBA) aviation of the Russian Air Force was stuffed into this category.
    The L-410 is not a passenger aircraft, but a multi-purpose transport aircraft (27 units of The Military Balance 2017, p.217).

    I apologize for the criticism.

    The military balance gives information about 18 A-50 drill aircraft plus 4 IL-76 skip (I don’t know what years it is, maybe experts will tell), 25 of all modifications are indicated 215 units, 920 helicopters of all types, 296 of them attack, transport 432 aircraft, amphibian aircraft in the Air Force are not available, all the remaining are indicated in the Navy’s aviation as many as 3 pieces, maybe someone certainly doesn’t trust the military data, everything is relative, but for me the publication is quite serious, their information deserves attention.
