The Letectvo CSLA (Czech Air Force) re-designated the imported MiG-15bis the S-103 (S = Stihac = Fighter). In 1954 the Czech company Aero Vodochody located just outside of Prague started to manufacture these aircraft and they were referred to as the Aero S-103 and S-103R. The MiG-15 was added to the Czech Air Force starting in 1951 with the last retiring from active service in 1983. The 30th Attack Regiment called “Ostravsky” was so named in honor of the Czechoslovak ground-attack regiment that flew under the command of the Soviet’s during the liberation of the city of Ostrava in the northern region known as Moravia.
