Leonid Georgiyevich Butelin (12 IAP) perfomed his suicide-taran early morning 22 June 1941 near his AF base av Stanislav in Western Ukraine (= only recently occupied ex-Polish territory).
On 23 July 1941 two tarans were performed at unspecified locations on the "Southern front" regions and two tarans south-west of Leningrad.
