== History ==
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Zhitkur military airfield, located 52 km north-east of the current airfield and 125 km east of Volgograd, was used for aviation support of the landfill. The airfield had an unpaved runway with a length of 1060 m and a width of 80 m. <Ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> This airfield was created near the village of the same name in the Pallas district of the Stalingrad region in the summer of 1942 during the Battle of Stalingrad. At the same time, up to 10 regiments of fighter, assault and bomber aviation of the 8th Air Army of the RKKA USSR Air Force were simultaneously based on the airfield. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</Ref> In 1953, due to the expansion of the Kapustin Yar test site, the village of Zhitkur ceased to exist, residents were relocated to other locations.<ref>http://bit.ly/2VrZY6b History of the former village of Zhitkur in the Pallasovsky district</ref>
The 19th Separate Mixed Aviation Squadron (military unit 20669) to service the testing ground [[Kapustin Yar]]] was formed in [[1954]] at the airfield of military unit 15650 in [[Akhtubinsk (airfield) | Vladimirovka village] (now the city [[Akhtubinsk]]). The squadron consisted of three units: a transport unit of three aircraft [[Li-2]], a helicopter unit of three helicopters [[Mi-4]] and a light-engine unit on aircraft [[An-2]], [[Yak-12] ] and [[По-2]] <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>. Later aircraft appeared [[IL-12]], and then [[IL-14]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
Since 1955, the squadron aircraft began to fly to the Experimental Test Stations (OIS) of the Kapustin Yar test site located in the vicinity of [[Kazakhstan | Kazakhstan]] settlements [[Zhankazan | New Kazanka]], [[Makat]], [[ Aralsk]]. Somewhat later, a flight of aircraft [[Yak-12]] of the 19th Separate Mixed Squadron began to be based at the Aralsk airfield, which performed tasks for the delivery of measurement information and the search for products.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
In [[1956]], the squadron was relocated to a newly created airfield at the present location from a dirt runway. The airfield received the conditional name '' Constitution ''.
In 1958, a concrete runway was built at the aerodrome, which made it possible to carry out flights without fail during the autumn and spring soaking season.
On November 2, 1959, the squadron was reorganized into the 158th separate mixed air regiment. The first commander of the regiment was an inspector-pilot of the Air Force of the North Caucasus Military District, a military pilot of the 1st class, Colonel SK Teterkin <ref>http://bit.ly/2QkfQUm> Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)

In 1989, the plane [[IL-14]] was excluded from the regimental state, and the [[An-72]] aircraft unit was switched on.
In 2009, the 158th air regiment was reorganized into the 35th separate air squadron, which was transferred from [[[RVSN]] to [[Air Force of the Russian Federation]].
