The 894th Fighter Aviation Regiment (Russian: 894-й истребительный авиационный полк), Military Unit Number 23257, was a fighter aviation regiment of the Soviet Air Forces in World War II, which then served with the Soviet Air Defence Forces for forty years after the war.
From 1945 to 1992, it was based at Ozerne, in Zhitomir Oblast, in the Ukrainian SSR.
It was later assigned to the 215th Mixed Aviation Division, 1st Air Army, briefly in July 1942, and then to the 9th Fighter Aviation Corps PVO under the Western Air Defense Front (June 1943-May 1945).
A single serviceman, Nikolai Abramchuk (ru:Абрамчук, Николай Иванович), serving with the regiment, was awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union.
The unit operated the Sukhoi Su-9 (ASCC "Fishpot") in the 1960s,[1] replacing it in 1979 with the MiG-23 (Flogger-G).
