- Zone d’activité générale
- The northern axis in 2022; the Bakhmut sector in 2023; eastern and border sectors since, by ISW's tracking. No current disposition is authored.
- Historique notable
- The Tula division, with a lineage from the Soviet airborne and a reputation as the VDV's formation nearest Moscow, took part in the 2022 northern operation and withdrew through Belarus at the end of March to be redeployed to the eastern front. Its defining commitment came in 2023: after Wagner's withdrawal from Bakhmut it took over the city's flanks and held them through the summer counterattacks at Klishchiivka and Andriivka, with both its regiments identified publicly on that ground — among the most attritional defensive assignments of the war. Public tracking has since placed it on eastern sectors and, in 2024, against the Kursk incursion.
- Points forts
- VDV cohesion and priority manning applied to a long defensive commitment that held; a divisional structure kept intact through repeated reconstitution.
- Limites
- The Bakhmut flank fighting of 2023 cost it heavily and publicly; light airborne equipment in a war that punishes it; employment as line infantry since 2022. Nothing below the division is authored.
