Hello. Need help with this uniform and the ribbon bar.

Thank you.

RF lt.-gen. of air force service uniform, Putin's Era (eagle and cap band style). Looks good, can't say anything about the ribbons as I am rather unfamiliar with their awards.

We have (amongst others)
Order Courage
Jubilee Medal "300 Years Of The Russian Navy"
Jubilee Medals "60/70 Years Of The Soviet Armed Forces"
Russian Federation MOD Medal "For Impeccable Service" 1st Class
Soviet Union MOD Medals "For Impeccable Service" 2nd and 3rd (meaning he served in the Soviet Armed Forces for at least 15 years before 1991)
Russian Federation MOD Medal "For Service In The Air Force" (indicating service after 2004).

I believe the top decoration is Order "Saint George" 4th Class not the George Cross, anything Soviet or the "For Impeccable Service" decoration.

Looks pretty authentic and "average" for a long serving 2 star. Certainly nothing unusual.

Thank you.

It belongs to a General, still active, Hero of Russia !

Best regards.

Best photo, I think missing medals.....

If the General is still alive no doubt he will need the awards if not this service tunic.
The bar is a great example of a late Soviet officer continuing serving well into the Russian Federation.
I wouldn't be surprised if all of his awards were for diligence rather than individual acts.
