After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Belarus inherited a substantial fleet of warplanes. The Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, effective since 1992, obliged Belarus to reduce its air force. In 1996–2010 Belarusian air force underwent the majority of organizational changes. Limited technological and financial resources contributed to gradual reduction of Belarusian military aviation. Today Belarusian air force is not able to replace the recalled warplanes with new constructions. In the immediate years the difficulties of Belarusian air force should be expected to grow as the combat potential decreases.
