In early 1960's the goverment of North Thrace decided to order 46 Tsybin/Bartini RGSP from Soviet Union and created a Naval Squadron in Agathopolis.All aircrafts built in Soviet Union,first units delivered in 1965 and last in 1967.The 365 Squadron had 36 operational aircrafts and 14 more in storage,operating from specially made tunnels,each an autonomous base for 6 aircrafts.The 2-seat version is based to the training variant and modified locally to Naval Attack with the venerable Adis I missile (ASM OMI-24B).The designation of Tsybin/Bartini RGSP in Hellenic service was R-136 Thunderstorm.Aircrafts were very active in Black Sea for about 25 years and several lost in accidents (it was difficult to fly it,particulary in low altitude).In mid 1990's the Air Command bought some aircrafts from Ukraine to use for spares and finally the R-136 withdrawn from service in 2008.Design post is a WIP,because I need to thought about RHAF Squadron CoA and numbers on aircrafts.
Note 1:ASM OMI-24 withdrawned in 1991
Note 2:In North Thrace also there is the 386 Squadron of RHAF,which had F-104G Starfighters armed with Penguin or Kormoran missiles (until 2007) and P-2M Neptune Maritime Aircrafts (1975-1996),replaced by P-3M Orion.The P-2M did not have ASMs and cooperated with the R-136B on anti-ship missions.
