Northern Fleet Air Force – HQ Severomorsk Pacific Fleet Air Force – HQ Vladivostok Baltic Fleet Air Force – HQ Kaliningrad Black Sea Fleet Air Arm – HQ Sevastopol ( status in 2010 ) Structure after 2008 – 2011 reforms .

Each new naval air base consists of an HQ , support units and one or more aviation groups / wings ( the former air bases ) . In a second stage , the air bases were merged into territorially integrated structures . Only the 279th Regiment retained its status . The planned transfer of Naval Aviation assets ( Su - 24 , Su - 27 , Tu - 22M3 , MiG - 31 ) to the Air Force has been delayed due to their importance to the service , but was finally implemented by the end of 2011 . As of 2012 , the only fixed wing strike and fighter aircraft of Russian Naval Aviation are the Su - 33 fighters and Su - 25UTG attack aircraft of the 279th Regiment ( forming the Admiral Kuznetsov ' s carrier air wing ) , plus the Su - 24 bombers based in the Crimea . This sole bomber unit remained part of Naval Aviation as an exception to satisfy treaty requirements governing Russian forces deployments on Ukrainian territory ( these must be part of the Black Sea Fleet ) . Buying brand new multirole Sukhoi Su - 30SM for the Black Sea Fleet to replace Su - 24 is in the planning stages . Naval aviation also retains the anti - submarine aircraft of the forces ( the Tu - 142 and the Il - 38 ) and the helicopter arm . Naval air bases of the Russian Naval Aviation include : Baltic Fleet air bases Black Sea Fleet air bases Northern Fleet air bases Pacific Fleet air bases
