899th Assault Aviation Regiment

In its last years it was a attack aircraft unit located at Buturlinovka in Voronezh Oblast flying the Sukhoi Su-25 "Frogfoot."

It traced its history to a corps aviation detachment, 3-й корпусной авиационный отряд[1] originally established in June 1914.

The regiment was formed on June 2, 1938, through the reorganization of the 106th Fighter Aviation Squadron (05/25/1935), and has a very long history.

At the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, on June 22, 1941, the regiment was either part of the 7th[8] or 8th Composite Aviation Division of the Northwestern Front.

From 1949 to 1953 the regiment was at Trollenhagen, at what is now Neubrandenburg Airport, in East Germany with the 263rd Fighter Aviation Division.
