The 105th Guards Airborne Division (Russian: 105-я гвардейская воздушно-десантная Венская дивизия) was an airborne division of the Soviet Airborne Troops.
The division was originally formed as the 12th Guards Airborne Division as part of the 38th Guards Airborne Corps in December 1943.[1] In December 1944, it became the 105th Guards Rifle Division of the 9th Guards Army. On 7 June 1946, the 105th Guards Airborne division was formed from the 105th Guards Rifle Division. Disbanded in 1979, the division was reactivated in 1990. It was taken over by Uzbekistan in 1992, while still not yet fully formed.[2] The division was dissolved in 1994 and became the 17th Air Assault Brigade.
