Английская Википедия:77th Infantry Division of Khurasan
Шаблон:Infobox military unit 77th "Pirooz-e Samen-ol-A'emeh" Infantry Division of Khorasan (Шаблон:Lang-fa) is an infantry division of the Ground Forces of Islamic Republic of Iran Army based in Mashhad, Razavi Khorasan Province.[1] It was formerly being called 77th Infantry Division of Khorasan and was renamed to "The Victor of Samen-ol-A'emeh" (Шаблон:Lang Pirooz-e Samen-ol-A'emeh) later after the successful Operation Samen-ol-A'emeh during Iran–Iraq War, which was led by this division.
It was active during the Imperial Iranian regime during the 1970s.[2] During the Iran–Iraq War the division fought in the Operation Fath ol-Mobin (March 1982),[3] Operation Ramadan (July 1982),[4] Operation Badr (March 1985),[3] and Operation Karbala-6 in early 1987. One of the most famous episodes of the unit, came on May 9, 1982, when 6000 troops of this division were transported from Mashhad to Khuzestan in a single night. This was possible as a result of using the Boeing 747 Iran possessed as a military transport aircraft, setting a new world record in the air transport history. [5]
