'Il-2' Roster
The 5th Guards Fighter Air Regiment is comprised of three to four eskadrili,
or 'squadrons' of ten aircraft. Each eskadrilya is made up of one
Shtab(HQ) para and two zvena, or 'links' of four aircraft, which
are themselves made up of two pary, or 'pairs' of two aircraft. The
para is the smallest tactical combat air unit. Also, the gruppa,
or 'group' was used quite frequently, and was generally six to eight aircraft.
The links to the left display the current roster for the regiment by
eskadrilya. They have the members split up into their respective
zveno, each first and third member listed being a para leader.
The first person of each zveno is also the zveno leader, and the
first person in 'Shtab Para' is the eskadrilya leader. The
Kompol, or regimental commander, is not listed on the roster, and is
assumed to be part of regimental HQ. At full strength, the regiment comprises
of 30 - 40 operational aircraft.
