The Air Command "South" (MUN  A0800) is the military unit of the Ukrainian Air Force located in the southern part of Ukraine.

History

[edit]

In 2004, the Air Command South was established during the reformation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, when the Air Force and Air Defense Forces were united into a single unit — the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On the funds of the 5th Aviation Corps and the 60th Air Defense Corps, the Air Command "South" was created and is headquartered in Odesa.[1]

The regions in southern Ukraine where the Air Command South operates, are the Odesa Oblast, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Sevastopol, Mykolaiv Oblast, Kherson Oblast and partially the Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovhrad and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts.

It is the successor to the 5th Aviation Corps of the Air Force and the 60th Air Defense Corps since then.

The main tasks ofAir Command South are round-the-clock protection of the state border in the airspace and reliable cover from air strikes of administrative centers, large industrial and economic districts, the Southern Ukrainian NPP, the Dnipro Cascade HPP facilities, as well as important communications and military facilities in the South of Ukraine.
