The air base of Byaroza (Osovets) in today's Belarus was home of the 927 istrebitelnyy aviatsionnyy polk (927 iap) which deployed from here to Afghanistan in 1983-1984 with the MiG-21. The regiment and its MiG-29s were transferred to Belarusian control when the Soviet-Union broke-up in 1992. In town, this MiG-21S is preserved to commemorate the unit's deployment to Afghanistan. Ex bort 46 red.

13 in a row.

Shchors, Chernihiv Oblast, was renamed to Snovsk in 2016, but it still held this former USSR MiG-23 (23-11) version in 2021.

This 21 red is possibly originating from '78 and was assigned since with 39 otdel'nyy razvedvatel'nyy aviatsionnyy otryad (39 orao, Separate Reconnaissance Aviation Detachment). The spy plane returned to Kubinka, Russia in '94. It was converted to an Il-20ME after 2000 and reserialled to RF-93610 in mid-'11. The aircraft received VVS Rossii titles in '15. It was written off on 17 Sep'19 near Baniyas (Syria) while operating from Khmeimim (Syria) over the Mediterranean Sea. A Syrian Surface to Air Missile shot it down as it operators thought it was an Israeli fighter, killing 15 crew.

This MiG-23MLD (NATO reporting name FLOGGER-K) was operating from Altes Läger (Jüterbog) with 833 IAP as part of the 16th Air Army (16.VA) in former East Germany. The beautiful camouflaged MiG was pictured during an early morning mission and returned when the sunlight was not optimal.

In reality this Fitter-a was 5521 in the Czechoslovakian AF. It has been re-painted for display in this super museum.

This Su-25 was operated by 357 OShAP at Brandis. Its c/n remains unknown. One year later, a 21 red was identified at Demmin as 25508110143 but it is unknown whether this is the same aircraft as seen here.

Czech aircraft (ex 5521) falsely displayed in the markings of the Soviet Air Force as "21 red".

Preserved at the Central Aerodrome Museum at the Frunze Central Airfield/Khodynka, Moscow. The museum closed in 2003 and the aircraft moved on. The site was redeveloped.

In technical school.

Czechoslovak AF Su-7BM 5521 is preserved in Soviet colours to represent a Soviet example.
