Insofern scheint es jetzt erstmals offiziell ein solches Kommando zu geben und es wird einem Generaloberst Surowikin übertragen. (Name schonmal gehört, aber keine Ahnung darüberhinaus.)
[...] At the end of November 2017, the Russian MoD′s Krasnaya Zvezda reported that Surovikin had been appointed Commander of the Aerospace Forces by a presidential decree of 22 November.[18] TASS pointed up that Surovikin thus became the first combined–arms commander in the history of Russia and the Soviet Union to be put in charge of the Russian or Soviet air forces.[19] On 28 December, he was made a Hero of the Russian Federation for his leadership of the Group of Forces in Syria.[20]
Under the command of Surovikin, a significant turning point in the fight against the Syrian opposition was achieved. The Syrian Government regained over 50% control of Syria by the end of 2017 after a string of successful military campaigns. According to military experts, it was Surovikin who managed to turn the tide of the war in Syria.[21][22][23][24]
Again from January to April 2019, Surovikin took over as the commander of the contingent of Russian military forces in Syria. Altogether he commanded the Russian forces group in Syria for more than a year which was longer than any other officer who held this position.[25] Until November 2020, Lieutenant General Aleksandr Chaiko who surpassed his duration as commander of Russian military forces in Syria.[...]
Hmm... In Syrien haben die Russen ja hauptsächlich alles aus der Luft kurz und klein gebombt, was irgendwie nach "gemäßigten Rebellen" aussah. Wenn Surovkin damit schon mal erfolgreich war, könnte das bedeuten, dass man jetzt auch dazu übergehen will, das in der Ukraine auch so zu machen.
Da kann man nur hoffen, dass die Berichte stimmen, denen zu folge die Russen keine Lufthoheit über der Ukraine haben.
