history
As early as 1897, a formation of armed merchant ships was temporarily deployed on the Amur. It fulfilled defensive tasks at the estuaries, ensured the security of the river transport routes and deposited troops in the years of the Russo-Japanese War from 1904 to 1905. In April 1905, a special division of ships of the Siberian Flotilla was established from gunboats and armored speedboats built in Saint Petersburg . On November 28th Jul. / December 11th, 1908 greg. the Amur River Flotilla was formed from this department, which was under the command of the troops of the Amur military district. The base of the unit was the Khabarovsk shipbuilding plant. In 1910 the association consisted of 20 ships, including eight heavy and ten light gunboats.
In 1918 the flotilla was integrated into the Red Army fleet and took part in battles against Japanese and White Guard troops. In April 1918 the flotilla base and ships were captured by the Japanese. In May 1920, almost all ships were removed by the Japanese. In the spring of 1920 the Association of the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern Republic was reorganized. From April 1921 she was part of the naval forces of the Far Eastern Republic. From 1922 to 1926 it operated under the name Amur River War Flotilla of the Soviet Naval Forces of the Far East. Then she belonged to the Soviet Navy . In 1927 it was renamed the Far Eastern War Flotilla.
During the Soviet-Chinese military conflict in 1929, she supported the land forces of the USSR and destroyed the Chinese Sungari flotilla. This consisted of four monitors , four gunboats, two guard boats, three armored speedboats and fourteen seaplanes . In 1930 the flotilla was awarded the Order of the Red Banner and in 1931 it was renamed the Amur Red Banner War Flotilla .
During the Soviet-Japanese War in 1945, the flotilla took part in Operation August Storm . It secured operational transports, deployed landing troops and supported the capture of the cities of Heihe , Aigun , Fujin , Jiamusi and Harbin . At that time the flotilla consisted of eight monitors, eleven gunboats, 52 armored speedboats and about 70 aircraft. For the successful fulfillment of the combat tasks, sub-associations were awarded the Order of the Red Banner, Order of Nakhimov and Order of Ushakov . Seven sailors became heroes of the Soviet Union .
In 1955 the flotilla was reformed and part of the Pacific Fleet . On February 7, 1995, the Amur border flotilla was founded and subordinated to the border troops of Russia . Decree No. 662 of the President of the Russian Federation of June 7, 1998 ordered the dissolution of the Amur flotilla. Due to unsecured funding, the association's holdings were divided among individual border troop brigades.
