We seem to always ask each other about actual russian inventory. Thought I'd post what was published recently in AvWeek:

Russian Air Force:
MiG-29: 435
MiG-31: 193
MiG-31M: 90
Su-25: 193
Su-25UB: 20
Su-27: 303
Su-27SM: 7
Su-27UB: 52

Russian Navy
Su-25UB: 14
Su-27: 72

I'm not sure what all the variants are, perhaps someone can enlighten?

Russian Navy
Su-25UB: 14 -- I have to check this, but I thought these were UTGs; however AvWk has made mistakes before
Su-27: 72 -- original model
Where are the Su-33 numbers? Or are they included (wrongly) in the -27 number? There's like 2 dozen of them.

That's one of the things I wasn't sure of -- I copied it down exactly as published ... They were broken down that way by airforce and navy.
