Priority Russian aviation regiments
For new articles I believe the priorities are 14th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (ru:14-й_гвардейский_истребительный_авиационный_полк); : "The 14th Guards Fighter Aviation Leningrad Red Banner, Order of Suvorov Regiment named after A. A. Zhdanov (14th Guards IAP) - was a guards military unit of the Red Army Air Force, which took part in the Second World War, subsequently included in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The regiment is currently based at the Kursk Vostochny airfield." .., and the 43rd Guards Naval Assault Aviation Regiment; 790th Fighter Aviation Regiment. Just FYI for anyone in the Russian workgroup who wants my opinion, I suppose : Buckshot06 (talk) 19:58, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

43rd Guards Naval Assault Aviation Regiment
(ru:43-й истребительный авиационный полк) The 43rd Fighter Aviation Regiment began its formation in May 1938 and was finally formed on May 11 or 13, 1938 in the Kiev Special Military District at Vasylkiv airfield from the 71st, 5th and 109th separate fighter aviation squadrons. It joined the 51st Aviation Brigade of the Air Forces of the Kiev Special Military District.

The regiment's first commander from summer 1938 was Vladimir Sryvkin (ru:Срывкин, Владимир Алексеевич). Major Sryvkin handed over command in 1939 and became assistant commander of the 72nd Fighter Aviation Brigade. In May 1944, he died of wounds received in action.

On June 22, 1941, the regiment was still located at Vasylkiv, forming part of the 36th Fighter Aviation Division of the Air Defence Forces of the Kiev Special Military District.

Over the entire period of its existence, the regiment was repeatedly reorganized and changed its name depending on the honorary titles assigned, awards and changes in the type of aviation:

The 43rd Fighter Aviation Regiment on June 9, 1942 was reorganized into the 43rd Mixed Aviation Regiment.[2] The 43rd Mixed Aviation Regiment was reorganized on June 21, 1942 into the 43rd Fighter Aviation Regiment.[3] The 43rd Fighter Aviation Sevastopol Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Regiment on April 1, 1960 was renamed the 43rd Aviation Sevastopol Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Regiment of Fighter-Bombers (APIB).

The 43rd Aviation Sevastopol Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Regiment of Fighter-Bombers, after being included in the Air Force of the Red Banner Black Sea Fleet on December 1, 1990, was renamed the 43rd Separate Naval Assault Aviation Sevastopol Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Regiment.

In connection with the reduction of the Russian Air Force, the 43rd Separate Marine Assault Aviation Sevastopol Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Regiment was reorganized on October 1, 1995 into the 43rd Separate Marine Assault Aviation Sevastopol Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Squadron.

In December 2004, the squadron was upgraded to a regiment once again. The 43rd separate naval assault aviation Sevastopol Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Regiment in connection with the ongoing reform of the RF Armed Forces in 2009 was renamed the 7058th Aviation Sevastopol Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Naval Aviation Base of the Russian Federation.

The 43rd separate naval assault aviation Sevastopol Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Naval Aviation Regiment of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation was re-formed in 2014 at the Novofedorovka airfield near the city of Saki.

The regiment was part of the "active army" (in front-line combat service) for six periods between 22 July 1941 and 9 May 1945.
