Russia has a plenthora of military branches and consolidated several to make something akin to our Air Force:

What are the implications of this, good or bad?

Unfortunately they've already done so to a large extent. This is the second wave. We'll see.

This could be a trust issue. In that olygarchy Putin keeps tight control and may not trust having separate branches with people he doesn't totally trust holding power. It makes it harder for him to hold control.

I assumed they had an airforce and for some reason I knew their space command was different, but I didn't know they were that spread out.
