{{Infobox faction | name = Russian Defense Forces | image = Russia.jpg | leader = | affiliation = [[Russia]] | headquarters = | type = Armed forces | membership = | standing = Active }} The '''Russian Defense Forces''' ('''RDF''')<ref name = "New Blood #3"/> are the armed forces of [[Russia]]. ==Background== The RDF has access to tanks, helicopters, transport vehicles, and fighter jets, along with standard infantry.<ref name = "New Blood #4"/> ===First Omnic Crisis=== The RDF fought against the [[omnic]]s during the [[Omnic Crisis]]. In an exception to the rest of the world, the RDF was able to defeat the omnics without the aid of [[Overwatch (group)|Overwatch]], as they fought their way through the omnic forces in [[Siberia]] and shut down the region's [[omnium]].<ref name = "Zarya"/> ===Second Omnic Crisis=== {{Quote|With each patrol comes a fight harder than the last. We dig up the enemy, and they attack in force. The battle is punishing. We lose soldiers often. Good soldiers. There are those who say the enemy cannot be defeated. They're wrong. Any enemy can be defeated. But the cost is high. We've been fighting for so long, sometimes it's hard to remember what we're doing here.|[[Zarya]], reflecting on the conflict in Siberia}} [[File:Zarya-ambush.jpg|thumb|RDF and omnic forces in battle]] Thirty years later, the omnium reactivated, once again turning Siberia into a battleground,<ref name = "Zarya">[http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/zarya/ Zarya], ''Blizzard Entertainment''. Accessed on 2015-03-09</ref> and plunging Russia into the [[Second Omnic Crisis]]. A coordinated assault was mounted against the omnics.<ref>''[[Recall (animation)|Recall]]''</ref> The RDF was given authority over all Russian territory east of [[Krasnoyarsk]].<ref name = "New Blood #3">''[[New Blood Issue 3]]''</ref> The [[Krasnoyarsk Front]] was established, where fighting between the RDF and omnic forces entered a routine—RDF patrols would be sent out, would "dig up" omnics, and engage them in combat. Casualties were regularly inflicted on the RDF, and morale among the Russian people sagged, with some saying that the machines couldn't be defeated. Events came to a head when the northeastern section of the front was breached by the omnics. [[Novanskoye]] was destroyed and declared lost, and RDF forces were ordered to fall back to Krasnoyarsk to consolidate their defenses and oversee the city's evacuation.<ref name = "New Blood #4">''[[New Blood Issue 4]]''</ref> ==Known Members== [[File:Zarya Skin Siberian Front.png|thumb|An RDF soldier]] *Sergeant [[Aleksandra Zaryanova]] (self-reassiged) ==Trivia== RDF soldiers possibly appear as minions in the [https://heroesofthestorm.fandom.com/wiki/Volskaya_Foundry Volskaya Foundry] map in ''[[Heroes of the Storm]]''. Alternatively, however, these may be [[Volskaya Industries]] soldiers. ==References== <references/> [[Category: Military units]]
