History

The 181st Independent Helicopter Squadron associated with Novyya Zasimavichy was formed in 1973 at Temirtau Airfield in the Qaraghandy Region. After withdrawing from Afghanistan in 1988, the 181st Independent Helicopter Squadron was stationed at the Belarusian Pruzhany airfield. On March 4, 1993, it was reorganized into the 181st Air Base and, on March 20, 1996, into the 181st Combat Helicopter Base. The duties of the 181st Independent Helicopter Squadron included searching for and receiving reentry capsules from spacecraft.

The former Mi-2 memorial site was presumably established in Zasimavichy in 1993, after the 206th Air Base left Pruzhany-West airfield and was relocated to Lida. Until October 26, 2015, a Mi-2 transport and medical helicopter stood on a pedestal near the headquarters of the 181st Combat Helicopter Base in Novyya Zasimavichy. The former Mi-2 memorial exhibit was manufactured on August 25, 1971, and, according to its flight records, made its last flight on March 1, 1991.

An Mi-24 aviation monument is located in the military settlement of Novyya Zasimavichy. The Mi-24V memorial helicopter bears the factory number 3532421014161 and the white aircraft number “01”. The Mi-24 memorial was created with the direct participation of military personnel and employees of the 181st Combat Helicopter Base.
