Armavir is a military airfield in Krasnodar Territory, located on the southern outskirts of the city Armavir. The 713th Training Aviation Regiment (Military Unit Number 78738) is based at the aerodrome, which is part of the 783rd Training Center.[1] The regiment instructors provide training for fighter aircraft on the Yak-130 L-39 and MiG-29 aircraft.
An airfield (the second in the immediate area) was built on the eve of the war during the creation of the Armavir Military Aviation School of Pilots. The official start date for the formation of the school is December 1, 1940, the annual holiday of the unit is set for February 23, 1941.
The Armavir Military Aviation School of Pilots and its three regiments were transferred to the Soviet Air Defence Forces in 1960.[2]
The possibility is being discussed of creating an Armavir airport by reconstructing the military aerodrome and bringing it into compliance with the standards of civil aviation aerodromes.[3]
