Russian Aerospace Forces

The Russian Aerospace Forces (also known as the VKS, Воздушно-космические силы, or Vozdushno-kosmicheskiye sily) is the aerospace component of the Russian military, from Kamchatka to Kaliningrad. It serves Russia and defends its 4 military districts.

History
Prior to the present VKS, there was an old VKS. The old VKS was active in 2019, but activity had diminished in 2020.

SpaceRage, having previously retired from the position of Commander in Chief of the Federal European Confederacy (now the Allied European Forces), and HalfBloodPrince, who had recently returned to MRP, both decided to work together and make a new and structured military group. Hence, the new VKS was formed.

Lotus14 and GenericName were early members of the High Command. Lotus has stayed on, however Generic stepped down due to his relative inactivity. Hunter, commander of the ISOU, replaced Generic. Rukan and Rathemat joined High Command later.

Conflicts
Previous Conflicts: Many European conflicts happened during the time of Russia’s formation. None ventured inside Russian borders, but many of them presented a possible threat. One prominent European conflict was between FEC (now AEF) and RSHE, and involved many European countries as a result of alliances formed prior to the conflict.

Russo-Saudi Conflict (4/17 - 4/21): The Russo-Saudi conflict was a short lived conflict between the VKS and the RSAF. It started when the RSAF bombed Moscow, possibly as a reaction to a misconception that Russia was planning to attack/had already attacked Saudi Arabia. Russia did nothing of the sort. On April 21, an agreement was drafted up that included the payment of reparations, temporary occupation of Saudi Arabia, and the allocation of two shared bases. Russia and Saudi Arabia now have good relations.
