The 25th Red Banner Air Defence Division (Russian: 25-я Краснознамённая дивизия ПВО; Military Unit Number 54912) is a division of the Russian Aerospace Forces, part of the 11th Air and Air Defence Forces Army. Headquartered at Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the division controls S-400 surface-to-air missile and radar units covering Khabarovsk Krai and Sakhalin.
The division was formed from the 8th Air Defence Corps of the Soviet Air Defence Forces and then the Russian Air Force, active from 1960. It was part of the 11th Air Defence Army, and subsequently the 11th Army of Air Forces and Air Defence Forces. In 2001 the 8th Air Defence Corps was renamed the 25th Air Defence Division, and in 2009 renamed 11th Aerospace Defence Brigade. The brigade returned to its division designation in 2015.
