All the Names used by NATO to identify Russian Aircrafts

NATO Reporting Names were code names for military equipment from the Soviet Union, other Warsaw Pact countries, and China (NATO code or DIA code). Instead of the original labels, they use simple, easy-to-understand English words.

This section gives the NATO reporting names for the military planes of the Warsaw Pact states and the former Soviet Union (USSR).

This table will show you all the NATO names of Russian Aircraft.
