Publisher's Synopsis
The Ukraine inherited a large portion of the former Soviet Air Force's equipment and infrastructures after its independence. This book provides a detailed look on the organization and combat strength of the air force, and its aircraft and helicopters. Drawing on a wide range of previously unseen photographs supplemented by specially commissioned colour artwork, 'Guardians of the Ukraine' presents all types of combat, transport and training aircraft, as well as helicopters previously or currently operated by the Ukrainian Air Force, many of which are supported by captions detailing individual aircraft histories.
