If it was just DD for an Aviation Regiment, that would be "Long-Range Operations Aviation Regiment".

The problem is sometimes even though it was part of Long Range Aviation (ADD, or DD), the unit did not have the designator in its official title. The same could be said for the PVO Fighter Regiments also. I have confirmed this through the official listing of the units and not one Fighter Regiment or Division has "PVO" in its designation (this is from the Operational Army listing). Boevoi Sostav Sovetskii Armii does have them as PVO, probably to differientiate them from the other Aviation Divisions.

No, ADD is Aviacija Dalnego Dejstvija - Long Range Air arm(fleet). The Long Range regiment has different acronyms as but the at lesr one letter "P" must be contains, e.g. "BAP DD"
