He managed to win support from the leaders of the Defense Ministry and theGeneral Staff, and, as a result, the 16th Army was re-created by edict from President Putin.
"Speaking in Kubinka yesterday, Colonel General Vladimir Mikhaylov, the
current commander in chief of the Air Force, stated that the command is pinning
particular hope on the 16th Air Army. It should become the main strike force for the Moscow Air
Force and Air Defense District and should successfully perform combat missions not
only in its main, Western, sector, but also in all "sectors at
risk." Apart from this, the transformation of the Russian Air
Force's only mixed air corps into an air army is designed to simplify and unify
the organizational structure of the Air Force.
"Moreover, General Mikhaylov
announced that in the very near future the 16th Army will start to receive new
aircraft equipment, including Su-30 multirole fighters. These aircraft
will be received first by the "Russian Knights" -- the display team
