Russia: Airborne Forces to get helicopter brigade

The Russian Airborne Forces will for the first time create an army aviation brigade. It will be formed in the coming two-three years. At present only the Aerospace Forces have army aviation brigades, but their engagement is subordinated to the military districts. The new airborne helicopter brigade will have four squadrons and one of them will be armed with Mi-35M gunships, the Izvestia daily writes.
