Russian Air Force Day (Template:Lang-ru) is a professional military holiday of Russia celebrated on 2 August to honor the active and reserve personnel, as well as veterans of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

History

Air Fleet Day (Template:Lang-ru), also known as the Air Forces Day or Soviet Aviation Day^[1] was established in 1933^[2] and was celebrated on the third Sunday of August.^[3]^[4]^[5] The first aviation exhibition was held on 18 August 1933,^[1]^[6] at the initiative of Yakov Alksnis at Moscow's Khodynka Aerodrome.^[7] Future air parades were held at Tushino airfield, where they remained for decades. In 1937, the parade was attended by nearly a million people,^[7]^[8]

Soviet Air Force Day was enshrined by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet on 1 October 1980. On 28 September 1992, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Russia fixed this date as Russian Air Force Day.^[9]. The modern holiday was introduced to the Russian Armed Forces by President Vladimir Putin on 31 May 2006.^[10]^[11]^[12] The date was chosen based on the fact that 12 August 1912 marks the anniversary of the establishment of the Imperial Russian Air Service^[13], which was formerly part of the Engineer Corps.^[14] 12 August is today considered to be the birthday of Russian military aviation.^[15]

Celebrations

Festive events dedicated to the holiday are held annually.^[16]^[17] Air shows are commonly held at Zhukovskiy airport. Solemn events are held at the Moscow House of War and Armed Forces Veterans.^[18]
