air defence division

The regiment was placed under command of the 4th Air Defence Division, 10th Air Defence Army.

The 7th Air Defence Corps was redesignated the 7th Air Defence Division in the early 1990s.

The regiment was subordinate to the 19th Air Defence Division, which was reorganised as the 49th Air Defence Corps in June 1989.

In 1995 he became commander of the 4th Army Air Defence Division, becoming only the ninth brigadier in the history of the Pakistan Army to command a division.

Israeli aerial supremacy prompted Egypt to turn to the USSR for assistance and by the spring of 1970 an entire Soviet air defence division had deployed to Egypt.

From April 1986 it was assigned to the 6th Air Defence Division, 11th Air Defence Army, PVO, until its reassignment to the Pacific Fleet.

The 3rd LVD (en: 3ed Air Defence Division), with its HQ in Trollenhagen, was in charge to provide air defence throughout the northern territory of the GDR.

Reportedly from January 1976, the 7th Air Army was disbanded and replaced by the State Air Defence Command with the 2nd and 3rd Air Defence Divisions, which existed until 1990.

All the air defence divisions and corps of the Air Defence Forces (PVO), which are part of the Air Force since 1998, have been disbanded and replaced by 13 aerospace defence brigades.

The tactics needed for air defence tasks were obtained by the newly formed pilots and a required number of flight hours was achieved by them before transferring to a front-line squadron of the 1st or 2nd Air Defence Divisions.

Currently, the Pakistani Army has 29 Divisions comprising 20 Infantry Divisions, 2 Armoured Divisions, 2 Mechanized Divisions, 2 Air Defence Divisions, 2 Strategic Divisions and 1 Artillery Division.

When the 10th Combined Air Corps was transformed into the Tactical Aviation Command the 3rd FAB went under the newly formed Air Defence Corps (successor of the 1st and 2nd Air Defence Divisions).
