105th Guards Mixed Aviation Division
Identity
This record matches the Russian Aerospace Forces’ 105th Guards Mixed Aviation Division, publicly associated with Voronezh; Kommersant described the division as deployed near Voronezh, and open-source ORBAT references place it at Voronezh Malshevo/Baltimor under the 6th Air and Air Defence Army. Public reporting reviewed does not clearly confirm the division’s exact military-district subordination after the Western Military District was abolished from 1 March 2024 and the Moscow Military District was re-created.

Baltimor hub
Voronezh’s Baltimor/Malshevo airfield is the division’s main visible operating hub. TASS reported the first Su-34 flights from the reconstructed airfield in December 2021 after the regiment had operated from Buturlinovka during runway works; secondary reporting on the reconstruction describes rebuilt facilities, aircraft shelters, and storage for precision-guided munitions, indicating a significantly improved strike-aviation support base.

Regiments
Open sources consistently tie four regimental elements to the division: a Su-34 regiment at Voronezh/Baltimor; the 14th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment at Kursk/Vostochny with Su-30SM; the 159th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment at Besovets with Su-35S; and the 790th Fighter Aviation Regiment at Khotilovo, which TASS confirmed at that location and which OSINT order-of-battle references list with MiG-31BM/BSM and Su-27/35-family aircraft.

Combat status
Three subordinate regiments received the honorific 'Guards' in 2023: the 14th in August, and the 47th and 159th in September. Those Kremlin-announced awards were explicitly justified by "mass heroism" and performance in armed conflict, which is a strong official indicator that multiple elements of the division had recent combat service; comparable recent official detail for the 790th regiment was not identified in the sources reviewed.

Geographic footprint
The publicly reported basing gives the division a footprint stretching from Voronezh and Kursk to Tver and Karelia, i.e. across a large span of western Russia rather than a single local airfield cluster. Publicly available sources reviewed do not confirm whether this entire footprint still sits under one unchanged district-level command arrangement after the March 2024 military-district reorganization.
