Defense Ministry will revive the "skins" Aviation Regiment in the Baltic

The Ministry of Defense has begun to build up air power in the Baltic. One of the main elements of this program will be the revival of the legendary "Skyshkin" air regiment, according to News.

Defense Ministry will revive the "skins" Aviation Regiment in the Baltic


As the newspaper was told in the military department, "a decision was made in principle on the revival of the legendary 689 Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (Gviap), commanded by many famous Soviet aces of the Great Patriotic War, including three times Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Pokryshkin."

It is reported that the regiment will be based at the Chkalovsk airfield in the Kaliningrad region and will solve air defense tasks in the interests of the Baltic fleet.

“At first, the regiment will be armed with modernized Su-27CM (СМ3) fighters, and in the future it will receive a squadron of the newest Su-35,” the article says.

Full historical the name of the reconstructed unit is the 689th Guards Fighter Sandomierz Order of Alexander Nevsky aviation Regiment named after Marshal of Aviation A.I. Pokryshkina.

According to military historian Dmitry Boltenkov, the regiment will become the most important component of the Russian security system in the Baltic.

First of all, the Su-27SM and Su-35 are interceptor fighters. They will be able to effectively close Russian airspace not only from aircraft and helicopters, but also from drones and even cruise missiles. As the experience of Syria shows, if necessary, fighters will be able to hit ground and air targets with high accuracy. In their arsenal are very effective Kh-31 supersonic missiles, as well as corrected aerial bombs,
told the expert.

    He knew the Pokryshkin family. The late Marya Kuzminichna was very sensitive to her regiment and the memory of her husband. She carefully kept Marshal's flight book. I held this masterpiece in my hands, with painted planes, maneuvers. I was happy and told about my trips to Chkalovsk. She will be glad there .... that her regiment is not forgotten. We are also glad that the military traditions of Soviet aviation will be preserved, that the name of Marshal will not sink into oblivion.
    And this is good!

        A copy of the Aero Cobra was delivered in Novosibirsk.
        Must be noted. that Pokryshkin among the marshals had many ill-wishers. Marya Kuzminichna called the names of those who had a hand. In fact, in his stellar age. Pokryshkin was excommunicated and transferred to DOSAAF

    They were based in Nivensky. When it was closed, they transported airplanes on trailers through the whole city to Chkalovsk. They should have been at night, but because of all sorts of delays they captured the morning. And I, on the way to work, met with them several times. A sad sight, like a funeral ... Well, now - fly!

But after reading about Chkalovsk, the joy subsided, now the Su27 are standing there, the next year the regiment is planning to re-equip the Su35, I have a one-fly there. That is, it turns out that the "sign" will be changed, transferred to a new mat.chast, and as there were 2 garrisons throughout the Kaliningrad region, it will remain so. Chernyakhovsk and Chkalovsk, but once upon a time the whole army was, even if the division were formed a full-fledged (they repaired 1-2 airfields and, in addition to the existing two, were equipped with a new mat.part, I understand this FORMED!

        They will not remove from all parts until there is a su27cm in Chkalovsk, and the planes partially withdraw from the garrisons where the transition to su30cm and su35 is completed or is being completed (the "extra" su27 are shoved into shelves that are only in the rearmament line and fly on the "old people" ) So far, su35 instead of su27 received only 2 regiments, in the Uglovka and Dzemgi, and from there they take. Su30cm are armed with regiments that previously flew for a moment29 (I don’t know why this happens), and this is Domna, Zernograd, Kursk.

            As far as I know, no. Back in Belbek, in Khotilovo, in Krymsk (although there is su30 there), the same story with su24- Khurba is slowly transmitting to Shagol, the Morozovskys “share” with the fleet Monchegorsk, and the grouping is basically based on su24 in in general, the approach is correct, the old people are still at the level, the more they upgrade them, but of course this is not enough. It is necessary to rebuild airfields and recreate at least what was destroyed during the Serdyukov reform process, and that is about 30 airfields, I am sure that this is quite possible with the current defense budget (before, funding was less and nothing served, they flew, garrisons were supported by combat-ready ones).

        Dear, there is such a version (for some reason, here is a truncated version of the article on topvar)
        The decision to revive 689 guiap was made as part of the rearmament and military capabilities of the national aviation program. The regiment will be formed on the basis of the fighter squadron, which is now part of the 72nd air base. At first, the regiment will be armed with modernized Su-27SM (SM3) fighters, and in the future it will receive a squadron of the latest Su-35

          God forbid, I honestly do not advocate that there should be more than one regiment at one aerodrome, at least in the current situation with the aerodrome network of Russia, because in the event of war and striking at such an aerodrome, firstly there’s nowhere to be relocated, secondly the amount of equipment itself implies an increase in the time to relocate (i.e., not everyone will be able to get out of the attack), and thirdly, it’s much easier for the enemy to plan an attack on three airfields than say 10, hence the conclusion, restore the airfields, to put equipment on them, to reduce the structure of the current regiments (from 4-5 squadrons, to do as 2-3 before the reform) and of course to train the personnel, otherwise we have a shortage of calls for pilots with ITS, and in 2009 themselves dispersed the ushlepki

              Quite right, in Yelizovo 1ae, only you count the number of planes, there was a full-fledged miap there before the reform, then the states cut to ai, and the planes stayed, the last time there was in 2016, I counted 19 boards, this is without a pair on the database, a total of 21, the number of boards far from ae, agree.
              According to Millerovo: before the reform, there were 2 aeronautical forces, I agree, but as far as I know, after the reform, the regiment was dispersed and the military personnel and equipment were transferred to Zernograd, forming a 4 squadron airbase of the 1st category. Now, with the transition to the regimental system, that may have changed, but in Millerovo, as far as I know, now the commandant’s office (I can be wrong)
              And so we have more than one garrison where 4ae each, even 5 here and there. A couple of examples: Engels-2ae on tu95 2 on tu160, Belaya 4ae tu22m3 and one transport, total 5. Domna-2ae on su30cm and 2 ae on su25, total 4. Corner-2ae on su35 and 2 per minute31, total 4. There is more, but I will not list everything. However, there are also “standard” types such as Kansk, Volzhsky, Perm, in my opinion.

                Were mistaken and very much, in 2014, 31 IAPs were restored there, the regiment received the Su-30SM https://bmpd.livejournal.com/1835175.html.

Their 2 regiments were for a moment29 in those parts - Zernograd and Millerovo, it turns out that Millerovo was restored, thanks for the information.
                  In Kamchatka, I didn’t mean that there are 4-5 there, I just wanted to say that there are enough planes for the regiment there (after all, 21 aircraft does not mean that there are so many and not more - 2-3 can be on ARZ, a couple where is the thread on the database sitting like Anadyr or Kuril), before that I was there in 2014 and there was more like, I don’t remember honestly.
                  Regarding Chkalovsk, until 2009 there was a “naval” regiment on the su27, then they were given to the Air Force, then to the MA again, and it seems to be again to the Air Force, 4 years ago, it was definitely the Air Force — the kashnik was transferred from Khotilovo, now I honestly have difficulty Considering that the sailors are buying Su30, and Chika is changing to Su35, it turns out the Air Force, you are right. On the other hand, it's the RUSSIAN ARMY !!! I won’t be surprised.

                    It's okay, no one is obliged to know everything, for example, I was not aware that we have regiments of 4-5 esc.

                    Regarding Chkalovsk, until 2009 there was a “naval” regiment on the su27, then they were given to the Air Force, then to the MA again, and it seems to be again to the Air Force, 4 years ago, it was definitely the Air Force — the kashnik was transferred from Khotilovo, now I honestly have difficulty Considering that the sailors are buying Su30, and Chika is changing to Su35, it turns out the Air Force, you are right. On the other hand, it's the RUSSIAN ARMY !!! I won’t be surprised.

                    Well, I would like all the same to, say, in Chkalovsk, a regiment of the Navy, and recreate the new IAP Pokryshkin (at least 2 esc) and transfer to another airfield, as you said.

                    In Kamchatka, if I'm not mistaken, Pushchino is empty, the runway is simply a dream of 3500 * 47, including you will be far away.

                      Pushchino? I know only Yelizovo in Kamchatka, where we work from time to time and the Kamchatka Keys. Maybe this is Pushchino? There, the Strategic Missile Forces’s aviation seems to be there, isn't it?
