Michael,
There were also two regiments of long-range night fighters on A-20G aircraft (they were equipped with Soviet radar systems). But their military successes were insignificant - only in 1945 they made a significant contribution to the disruption of the air bridge to the surrounded Breslau.
It's 56 IAD (45 APON and 173 APON).
After the war, the A-20G was returned to the Americans (without radar) and the regiments were armed with a fighter version of the Tu-2.
Kirill
