Tambov is an air base in Russia located 4 km southwest of Tambov. It is a bomber training base with many Tupolev Tu-134UBL aircraft.
The base is home to the 27th Composite Aviation Regiment with the Antonov An-12 (ASCC: Cub), Antonov An-26 (ASCC: Curl) & Tupolev Tu-134UBL(UBSh) (ASCC: Crusty) which is part of the 43rd Guards Oryol Center for Combat Employment and Retraining of Long-Range Aviation Flight Personnel.[1]
Yefim Gordon's MiG-23/27 book[2] refers to a 652 UAP (652nd Aviation Training Regiment) stationed at Tambov/Vostochnyy flying 96 Aero L-29 Delfín (ASCC: Maya).
Tambov used to be home to 4255 BRS flying Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 (ASCC: Flogger) aircraft.
Tambov used to be the location of the 301st Aircraft Repair Factory (ARZ) which became the 3119th Aviation Base for the Storage and Disposal of Aviation Equipment in mid-2001.[3] Hundreds of fast jets may have been stored for disposal here at sometime in the past.
