Air Force ranks and insignia of the Russian Federation
The legislation of the Russian Federation does not institute a separate rank system for the Air Force, which is not a separate service as in the US and the UK. There is separate system for deck ranks, but even then branch services such as aviation, artillery, sapper, medicine, justice etc. use ground troop's rank system, even though their uniform is a naval one.

 * Keep, because although the actual ranks are identical, the uniforms and rank insignia of the Russian Army and Air Force are different enough to warrant seperate articles. Saberwyn 23:44, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Once again, these are not separate services but rather branches of the ground forces. Any differences can be explained in corresponding articles for all-forces and deck ranks. --DmitryKo 12:32, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm with DmitryKo here. Given they are the same ranks and branches of the same force, which appears not to  be indispute, then differences in insignia can easily be dealt with in the main article.  Otherwise there will be substantial duplication between the two, plus a tendency to mislead by implication. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] :: AfD? 12:52, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Although air force uses all-forcess ranks it is still a sepporate branch as it is even said so on russian ministry of deffense website. And we should wright about al this not existing ranks in the article without putting them in table. --DimaY2K 19:02, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
