    Very interesting Soviet footage from the 80's of a front-line Mig-23 unit.
    Altough no details is given and according to some commentaries, it seems that this regiment is based in the Transbaikal area. it is presumably the 120th Guards Fighter Regiment "Odesskiy" from Domna. This unit subsequently deployed to Afghanistan with Mig-23MLD's and still exists despite cut threats. It currently operates Mig29 Fulcrum A/B/C and became the 6982nd Air base.

    It is a question? It is possible to specify - about what?
    You interest MIG-23?





    Or 120th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (HQ at Domna)?

    See "old school" footage.

    I like this plane but I have already a bunch of documentation about her.

    A rather weathered Mig-23ML, but anyway you could have chosen a better shot.

    This one is a Mig-27M. Not quite the same thing.

    By the way, I take 10 euros for military equipment recognition lesson. Friendly price, you won't find better

    Or 120th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (HQ at Domna)?



    I have got already very good Russian litterature about the unit.

    It is the second navigators station on a Tu-95MS Bear - it also serves to accomodate defensive electronic countermeasures equipment.

    Thanks a lot, Susumu. I wonder why the blood group and Rh factor is not included on the tag. Isn't that helpful, when the soldier is wounded and unable to tell the medical personnel what his blood group is?

    These are usually stated on a nametag which is sewn to the breast pocket.

    I think i have seen that, but thanks for telling me. But in mz opinion, uniform can get pretty messed up in action, while a dog tag is more durable. Did the Soviet army use dog tags?
