History

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the 4th Independent Air Defence Army of the former Soviet Air Defence Forces remained operating with its headquarters at Yekaterinburg. In December 1994 the army became the 5th Independent Air Defence Corps.[1] In 1998 this brought in air forces formations and became the 5th Independent Corps of VVS and PVO. On 1 January 2001 the formation became the 5th Army of the VVS and PVO.[1]

Until October 2003 and the creation of the Russian airbase at Kant, Kyrgyzstan in Kyrgyzstan where a small number of Sukhoi Su-25 attack aircraft were located, the Air Army had no combat aircraft. It had only three regiments of surface-to-air missiles (Yekaterinburg, Samara and Engels), but also included two helicopter regiments and some other auxiliary units. The 764th Fighter Aviation Regiment, operating MiG-31 aircraft, which was stationed Bolshoye Savino Airport 16 km southwest of Perm, within the 5th Air Army's zone, was subordinated directly to the Air Forces HQ in Moscow. In addition to the Kant airbase established in 2003, possibly another air base in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, was subordinate to the 5th A VVS i PVO. From July 2007 to its disbandment, the commander of the 5th Army was Lieutenant General Mikhail Kucheryavy.[2]

In 2007, 12 Mi-24 and 12 Mi-8s of the Army took part in the joint Sino-Russian exercise Peace Mission 2007.[3]

On 7 May 2009 the Army was disbanded and incorporated within the new 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Command, along with the 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army.[4]
