100th Independent Shipborne Fighter Aviation Regiment
The 100th Separate Shipborne Fighter Aviation Regiment (100 ''okiap'') (; Military Unit Number 45782) is a fighter regiment of the Russian Naval Aviation, formed in 2015. Based at Severomorsk-3, the regiment is part of the 45th Air and Air Defenсe Forces Army of the Northern Fleet. The regiment continues the history of the 100th Shipborne Fighter Aviation Regiment of Soviet Naval Aviation. It was formed at Saky air base in the Crimea on 10 March 1986, and five months later, placed under the 39th Control for the Test Training Facility of Shipborne Aviation. For most of its existence, it flew the Su-27, MiG-29, L-39 and Su-25 aircraft. In January 1992, many of its personnel, led by regimental commander Lieutenant Colonel Timur Apakidze, refused to take the oath of loyalty to Ukraine, which would have presumably made them part of the Ukrainian Navy or Ukrainian Air Force, and instead its personnel left for Russia, leaving their aircraft and equipment behind.

Regiments Of The Soviet Union
A regiment is a military unit. Its role and size varies markedly, depending on the country, service and/or a specialisation. In Medieval Europe, the term "regiment" denoted any large body of front-line soldiers, recruited or conscripted in one geographical area, by a leader who was often also the feudal lord ''in capite'' of the soldiers. Lesser barons of knightly rank could be expected to muster or hire a company or battalion from their manorial estate. By the end of the 17th century, infantry regiments in most European armies were permanent units, with approximately 800 men and commanded by a colonel. Definitions During the modern era, the word "regiment" – much like "corps" – may have two somewhat divergent meanings, which refer to two distinct roles: # a front-line military formation; or # an administrative or ceremonial unit. In many armies, the first role has been assumed by independent battalions, battlegroups, task forces, brigades and other, similarly siz ...
