Krasnodar branch of the Air Force Academy will once again become an independent university
“The branch will again become a separate educational institution, its head (Colonel Viktor Lyakhov) will keep the post in the status of acting. The question of the possible separation of the Syzran and Chelyabinsk branches is under consideration by the Ministry of Defense while they function as part of the academy. ”- said Zibrov.
“When joining the academy as a branch in 2012, the Krasnodar school transferred a number of training and aviation bases to the center of the VVA flight training center. We are talking about bases in Armavir, Tikhoretsk, Stanitsa Kushchevskaya (Krasnodar Territory), Kotelnikov (Volgograd Region), Balashov, Rtishchev (Saratov Region), Syzran (Samara Region), Maykop and Chelyabinsk, ”writes“ Kommersant ”.
The question of the transfer of air bases back to the subordination of the school has not yet been resolved. Zibrov did not comment on this question, citing military secrets.
Help newspaper: “Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School for Pilots was founded in 1938 year. From 1960 to 1991, the year trained aviation specialists for the countries of the socialist bloc, and from 1991 again began to produce specialists for the domestic Air Force. The school has faculties of basic flight training, military aviation control and foreign military personnel. The school produces pilots fighter, bomber, assault and military transport aircraft.
