Okay, how's this: "Военно-воздушные cилы" = "Air Force" "Военно-воздушные cилы России" = "Russian Air Force" Here's the Wikipedia page I got it from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Air_Force(I'm sure anyone among us who actually speaks or reads Russian is laughing his head off at my lame effort, or even doing one of these:  )  John |

That's what I was looking for. Here in Serbia we have both latin and cyrillic letters, but some cyrillic letters are different from the Russian ones, so I wanted to be 100% sure I spelled it right. Thanks!

I hope I'm not boring you all, but I need the same transliteration for the abbreviation IAP.

Sorrry, but I can't see it in cyrillic. I need the full name.

Here's IAP: ИАП
Here it is in English alphabet characters: Istrebitel'nyi Aviatsion'nyi Polk (Fighter Aviation Regiment)
I *think* this is correct for IAP in full; Babelfish translates it as "Destructive air regiment": Истребительный авиаполк

as I understand it 'Istrebitel' actually means 'Destroyer'

Dark Green Man - not fully so :-)
IMHO "Fighter" would be more accurate and common that "Destroyer"
