Europe and Russia: Military Balance 2025

Last update March 14/ 2025. What if Europe engaged the Russian Federation? Nato and Russian Federation order of battle near Ukraine, non-nuclear only. For creating scenarios, not playable. Locations of major air and navy units close to Ukraine, squadron unit numbers on all aircraft to verify accuracy. Current Nato and Russia air force / navy deployments included. NATO countries each have a 'side' unless they are in the side 'other nato members'. Reinforcements have not been added (this is the current inventory), though I may add a timeline in future. Squadron numbers are assigned to all aircraft in order to ensure accuracy and dates. Some airports are duplicated near each other to show foreign aircraft at host airbases e.g. usaf aircraft at polish airbases. Loadouts are generic. Current aircraft and warship deployments are shown from various countries. Naval Bases with homeported ships have been included. All russian and european fighter / attack / support squadrons included. Baltic Air Policing aircraft and warship positions are extremely dynamic so this is only a snapshot in time. To reduce clutter simply delete the NATO or Russian IADS sides (or any side) under the editor. Any side can be deleted by editor / add/edit sides / remove. Nato and Russian integrated air defense systems are on a separate 'side'. Non-Nato air surveillance radars are combined with each country. Bulgaria and Finland radar locations approximate. Sweden and Finland are new NATO members and have not yet integrated with NATINAMDS. Updates and corrections welcome! a work in progress. Database 3000v509.
