The 11th Red Banner Air and Air Defence Forces Army (Russian: 11-я Краснознамённая армия ВВС и ПВО) is a formation of the Russian Aerospace Forces, located in the Russian Far East, whose zone of responsibility covers the Eastern Military District. The 11th Army Air Force and Air Defense Army was reformed within the Eastern Military District on 14 August 2015.[1]
The designation "11" for an aviation formation of this size in the Far East was introduced during the Second World War. In August 1942 the Air Forces of the 2nd Red Banner Army were redesignated the 11th Air Army. But this formation only last less than two and a half years, because in December 1944 the formation was reduced to the 18th Aviation Corps, which in June 1945 joined the 10th Air Army.
In April 1960 the designation "11" was taken up again by redesignation of the independent Far Eastern Air Defence Army. For decades thus the aviation forces in the area consisted of the 1st Air Army of the Air Forces, reformed on 1 July 1957 by merger of two existing armies when the higher command arrangements in the Far East were reorganised, and the 11th Air Defence Army of the Soviet Air Defence Forces. In 1998, six years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the two were merged into the 11th Air and Air Defence Forces Army, covering the Far Eastern Military District. Russian Naval Aviation also handed over a regiment of Mikoyan MiG-31 interceptor aircraft on the Kamchatka Peninsula which was included in the new force.
The 11th Army of VVS and PVO was disbanded in 2009[2] by being redesignated the 3rd Air and Air Defence Forces Command. The army was reformed once again in 2015 from the command.
