127th Motor Rifle Division
Site ID
The placemark cluster matches the 127th Motor Rifle Division (military unit 44980) at Sergeyevka, Pogranichny District, Primorsky Krai. Public registry data for V/Ch 44980 lists its address in Sergeyevka, and open-source location reporting likewise places the division’s core garrison there.

Garrison footprint
Open-source order-of-battle reporting indicates a dispersed divisional footprint in Primorsky Krai rather than a single fenced installation. Sergeyevka is consistently identified as the divisional headquarters/base area, while other divisional elements are reported at Ussuriysk and Lipovtsy; exact current subunit basing should be treated as OSINT-based because Russian official rosters do not routinely publish it.

Force posture
The division remains tied to the 5th Combined Arms Army, whose honorary "guards" title was publicly announced in April 2024. In 2025, at least two regiments associated with the division also received "guards" titles: the 394th Motor Rifle Regiment in March and the 143rd Motor Rifle Regiment in July, indicating the formation is an active combat contributor rather than a static Far East holding unit.

Combat use
ISW and Ukrainian military reporting have placed divisional elements in combat on the Ukraine front since at least March 2023. Reported examples include the 114th Guards Motor Rifle Regiment near Krasnohorivka/Vodyane in March 2023, the 143rd Motor Rifle Regiment north of Zelene Pole in July 2025, and the 114th plus 1466th regiments in the seizure of Malynivka west of Huliaipole in July 2025.

Confidence limits
Open sources support identifying Sergeyevka as the division’s permanent home station and administrative base, but they do not publicly confirm exact on-site manning, equipment holdings, or a current official commander roster as of March 12, 2026. Those details remain only partially visible through OSINT, registry records, and secondary reporting. ([rusprofile.ru](https://www.rusprofile.ru/id/6663080))
