What a feast - Day, long-range aircraft?

In Russia, historically a part of the air force (air force), namely, the 37th air army, called long-range aviation. One of its main tasks today is strategic deterrence of potential adversaries from the air. If necessary, long-range aviation will inflict strikes on military-technical bases of the enemy at far distances.

A Little history

More than a hundred years ago, when no one celebrated the day of the long-range aircraft (because of the concept of long-range aviation did not exist), aircraft engineer Igor Sikorsky developed a new bomber. He was four-and the largest in the world. His trial took place in late 1913.

"Ilya Murometz" - so began to call him and some more similar series aircraft when in a year, 23.12.1914 G., Nicholas II signed a decree on the establishment of a squadron (first) bombers. From that day we count down the world's heavy bomber and long-range aviation of Russia.

So when in modern times the question arose, what number Day of long-range aviation to celebrate, the answer was not long in coming. And in 1999 he published the order of the Supreme commander on declaring 23 December the professional holiday of pilots of distant aircraft. Since then, all military of the 37th air army of the Russian air force celebrated on this day their professional holiday.
