Russia has merged several branches of its military into the Aerospace Forces — a reorganization aimed at enhancing coordination and efficiency.
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Monday that the decision offers "the optimal way of improving the system of the nation's aerospace defense."
The new branch will include the nation's air force, air defense, anti-missile and space forces.
Shoigu said that its creation has been prompted by the increasing importance of air and space components in modern warfare.
The air force chief, Col.-Gen. Viktor Bondarev, has been put in charge of Aerospace Forces.
