Silverbolt 104 Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) one member of my forum has posted it, btw without source in the moment.... Tradition of the red star of VVS may end Russian Parliament approves change in colors of red star of the Russian Air Force - Breaking a tradition of more than 90 years, Russia's Parliament adopted by 389 votes to two, changing the color of the legendary and mythical red star, all aircraft used in air force, like a star, but in red , white and blue, referring to the national flag. However, despite the success of a vote in Parliament, it seems that the only new idea like the politicians, as the report of ASAS examined with a local expert saying it would not be exaggeration to say that 90% of the population is against the decision, not to mention the soldiers themselves, where the "exchange" has generated a huge repudiation. - Thus, despite the approval in Parliament, many question whether the measure will in fact be implemented. If this occurs, however, certainly not immediately, but perhaps in the second half of this year. The red star was adopted in 1917 after the October Revolution, and despite its connection to the former communist regime, "survived" the collapse of this at the end of 1991. is it true? will be weird see those flankers without the red star the source http://www.revistaasas.com.br/index.php?AS...26&LE=atual Edited February 16, 2009 by Silverbolt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+krizis 6 Posted February 16, 2009 I hope they will not change it. Red Star is very recognizable brand that has been around for decades. In fact it symbolizes entire aviation era in Russia. X RAY, you know all progress of aviation there was achieved under communism. Today's Russia is living by former achievements... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
