'First to arrive at Kilp-Yavr in early September were 4 Su-27s from the
159th
Guards and 2 Su-27s from the 177th Fighter Regiments. Good weather allowed
four flying days with pilots of the 9th Guards Fighter Regiment, and during
this period "Guests" acquainted themselves with the operation area and the
firing range. On 16th September at Kilp-Yavr arrived 4 MiG-31s from the
458th Guards Fighter Regiment which also were to take part at missile
practice. For the first time the Kilp-Yavr airfield hosted representatives

demostrate their prowness with missiles.
In the following week three flying days of standard fighter training
exercises were planned, including use of air-to-air missile duds. But all

Ну, и ещё присутствует большое любопытство, если честно! В общем все, что мне известно по данному вопрсу, взято не в последнюю очередь с данного ресурса. А/полк в Лодейном поле с СУ-27, ещё в Лен области где-то имеется ГИАП с Миг-29, Миг-31 в Громово той же Л Обл., и соответственно Килп-Явр с Су-27. Ещё Миги 29 на Кубинке и в Луховицах и Су в Савастлейке (но эт уже не Северо-Запад)Этим мои познания и ограничены, хотелось бы из пополнить. Да и замечу, что данный вопрос секретным не является, так как по условиям договора с НАТО РФ обязана предоставлять все данные о своих базах и в/ч.
