conducted at short intervals in several army areas since mid-
September, resemble the 1957 exercises with regard to scale and
duration. The practicing units were in most cases composed of
several reinforced regimental elements of various divisions which,
presumably under the command of an army, launched quick and, in
some cases, distance-covering attacks with air force support and
under the assumed employment of atomic weapons on the side of the
enemy. After the completion of the third major exereisecf, elms

The abovementioned press report is worth noting, however.

to It was learned in June 1958 that the flying unit stationed
at Brasov (45 41 N/25 37 E) airfield was-to be dissolved
on account of Soviet pressure.'Some-of the young, regular
officers were to be transferred to Foceani Soxth (45 40 N/27 12 E)
airfield
So far, a Rumanian ground attack regiment
equipped with IL-10s has been assumed to be stationed at
Brasov airfield, while a Rumanian pilot school htie been
carried at Foosani South airfield. The dissolution of the
ground attack regiment has not come as a surprise, since the
East Bloc countries more and more tend to. either dissolve
their ground attack regiments, re-equip them or change
them into fighter regiments.
2. In July 1958, there were indications at Sibiu-Turnisor
(45 47 N/24 05 E) airfield for a transfer of the flying unit.
According to rumors, the airfield will only serve for civil
air traffic in future. Some of the personnel of th- flying
unit were to transfer to Turda-South (46 32 N/23 47 E), while
the rest was to transfer to Arad-Ceala (46 11 N/23. 16 E).
Sibiu-Turnisor airfield was daily approached two passenger
aircraft flying the Bucharest (44 31''W26 05 E -- Brasov
(45.43L N/25 37 E) - Arad Ceala route
$Ment% A ground attack regiment is assumed to be
stationed at Sibiu Turnisor and Turda-South airfields.
Arad-Ceala airfield with a 2.000-meter-long concrete runway.
has so far been unoccupied. The presumed transfer of the
-flying unit from Sibiu-Turnisor has probably taken place
within the frarnwork of re-eguipnent o3r tactical change
of the ground attacksegiments, as had also been.obaerved in
other East Bloc countries.
