Airborne troops are the reserve of the President of the Russian Federation. They are able to meet combat challenges either independently or as part of the land forces, both in a large-scale war, and in local conflicts.

Airborne troops are intended to cover the enemy in the air and fight in his rear. In peacetime, the function of the troops is to conduct peacekeeping operations in unstable regions, in accordance with international obligations.
Airborne troops are among the best trained military units of the Russian army.
