Units and formations

edit
  • 968th Sevastopol Research-Instructor Mixed Aviation Regiment, Lipetsk, fighter jets MiG-29, Su-27, Su-27M, Su-30, bombers Su-24M, Su-24M2, Su-34, Su-24MP reconnaissance aircraft, jammer Su-24MP, strike-fighter Su-25, Su-25T, Su-25SM.[4] The regiment was transferred back to Russia from the Western Group of Forces in 1992. Aviation and Cosmos wrote in 2010 that at the time "The most painful was the uncertainty with the future. Initially, Zaporozhye was designated as the new base of the regiment. A reconnaissance group was sent there, which, upon returning, reported that the airfield was in a deplorable state. The “parade of sovereignties” that burst out after the Belovezha Accords did not increase personnel optimism. The ..instructions for combat training for the new 1992 academic year gave some clarity: the regiment was ordered to prepare for redeployment to the Seshcha (airfield) (ru:Сеща (аэродром)) in Bryansk Oblast, which, according to the experience of military units that had previously left Germany, most likely meant disbandment."
