Gordon breaks down the book into 6 sections, each offering an analysis detailing current usage of specific aircraft as well as details on upgrade options or new production potential. The six sections are: Sukhoi, MiG, Yakolev, Tupolev, MiL, and Kamov. Noticeably absent from this volume is Antonov and Ilyushin, possibly because their aircraft fall into transport or support and Gordon decided to focus on combat aircraft for this volume. The programs discussed in this volume are primarily programs for the Russian forces only, though some will be offered for export, and readers hoping for information on purely export modifications may be disappointed. The bulk of Gordon's research has been received from the manufacturers themselves and from air shows where new programs have been displayed.
