In the next installment, here is the 23rd Air Defense Corps, focused on defending the airspace around Vladivostok and the area immediately to the north and northeast. The corps consists of four PVO Fighter regiments, four SAM brigades, two SAM regiments, one Radio-Technical brigade and one radio-technical regiments. Three of the airbases are included in the stock game, I'll indicate which is which but I'll give a complete OOB for those interested.
1. 22nd Guards Red Banner Fighter Aviation Regiment: This regiment was based at Tsentralnaya Uglovaya, just northeast of Vladivostok. In 1989, the unit was flying Mig-23ML's (it converted to the SU-27 in 1994).
2. 47th Fighter Aviation Regiment: the 47th was based at Zolotaya Dolina (Unashi), easterly of Vladivostok. It flew SU-15's until 1989, being replaced by SU-27's which had started arriving in 1988.
3. 530th Fighter Aviation Regiment: This unit was stationed at Chuguevka, about 100 miles northeast of Vladivostok. It had been equipped with Mig-25's since 1974 and the Mig-31 arrived in 1990.
4. 820th Fighter Aviation Regiment: This unit was based at Spassk-Dalniy, a now-decommissioned airbase that appears to be eroding. In 1989 it was an active base flying Mig-23MLD's. This is the only airbase included in the zip as the other three are included in the stock game.
5. 88th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade: The 88th guarded the eastern approaches to Vladivostok and in 1990, was quipped with SA-2, SA-3, SA-5 and SA-10 missile battalions. By 1994, only the SA-10's existed and the brigade was converted into the 589th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment.
6. 130th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade: A large brigade with 12-14 battalions, it guarded the immediate surrounding area in the vicinity of Vladivostok and, like the 88th, was equipped with four generations of missiles. Also like the 88th, only the SA-10's would remain by 1994 and the brigade was reflagged the 1533rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment.
7. 150th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade: the 150th was spread out in an arc north to northeast of the port city it guarded, equipped with SA-2's and SA-3's. It disbanded in 1994.
8. 267th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade: A small brigade with seven battalions of SA-2 and -3 missiles strung out along the border with China, it disbanded in 1993.
9. 749th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment: A nine battalion regiment ~125 miles to the northeast of Vladivostok with a mix of SA-2, SA-3 and SA-5's. It disbanded in 1994.
10. 1300th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment: A small (three battalion) SAM regiment on to the northwest of Vladivostok, guarding the approach to the city from China. Equipped purely with SA-2's, it was disbanded before the other SAM units in the area, departing in 1992.
11. 10th Radio-Technical Brigade: A large collection of air search and defense radars in the Vladivostok region. The locations are known but, as with others, I had to take guesses at the equipment.
12. 123rd Radio-Technical Regiment: A collection of coastal radars along the coast, facing the Sea of Japan.
Heading towards Khabarovsk to explore their facilities next. Have fun assaulting (or defending) Vladivostok! While SA-2's and -3's are not state of the art by the late 1980's, the sheer density of SAM's in the area should make any strikes exciting to say the least. [X(]
