Re: Lt. L.G. Bùtelin from the 12 Fighter Regiment (USSR)

According to the Soviet-time "Taran-encyclopedia" in three volumes published by A.D. Zajtsev 1984-1985 in Monino Jn.Lt. 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.
