Taganrog-Central air base

Taganrog-Central (ICAO: URRC, FAA LID: XXX) is a military airfield in the city of Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, Russia.

Since 1948, the Higher Officer Flight Tactical Courses began work, based on the Taganrog-Central airfield, training assault air regiment (aircraft Ilyushin Il-10, MiG-15bis).

In 1960, the Second Central Flight Tactical Officer Enhancement Courses (II TsLTKUOS) were disbanded, and the 963rd Aviation Regiment of the EYVAUL was redeployed to the Taganrog-Tsentralny airfield of the Krasnodar Territory.

In 1995, the 192nd Guards Kerch Red Banner Military Transport Aviation Regiment, which was stationed in the Trans-Baikal region, was liquidated.

At the beginning of the 90s of the last century, a base for the liquidation of front-line aviation equipment was formed at the plant — about 300 fighters and fighter-bombers were cut into metal.

By the directive of the commander of the 4th IA of April 23, 1995, 4 aircraft of different types planned for cutting were allowed to leave as exhibits of the future aviation museum.

Unfortunately, due to bureaucratic obstacles and simply human dishonesty, it was not possible to save the glad potential exhibits of the museum.
