There have been several developments in Soviet operational concepts during the last few years which are relevant to the employment of helicopters on future battlefield. These concepts have capitalized on the mobility and firepower of the helicopter as a functional component of front and army level operations. The establishment and decentralization of Soviet Army Aviation and the formation of over 20 air assault brigades and battalions within the force structure of Soviet ground forces indicates that these forces figure prominently in Soviet doctrine and operational concepts. This is evidenced by the large numbers of helicopters integrated into all facets of combined arms operations during major training exercises. This study examines the development of Soviet heliborne operations and air assault forces, their missions, utility and implications in a war against NATO. (fr)
