77th Combat Aviation Training Squadron

The 77th Combat Aviation Training Squadron (77 CATS, 77 HRKS) is a squadron in the Republic of Granzery Air Force under the claimancy of the Air Training Group. The Squadron currently is primarily used as an international aggressor squadron, but is also used for testing and evaluation of foreign aircraft. The primary aircraft of the 77th Squadron is the Vazandian KmFzG-7 Boxfalke, although historically the squadron has also operated VeK-20, V-4 and MiG-23 aircraft.

History
The 77th Combat Aviation Training Squadron was initially formed in 1966 by the Granzerian People's Air Force, due to the similarities between the Vertega V-4 and contemporary western designs. The squadron flew regular sorties training Vastava Pact pilots against unconventional aircraft. After the Granzerian War its complement of V-4 aircraft were put into combat duty, while the squadron adopted VeK-20 aircraft left behind over by the communist government, which then trained the Granzerian pilots against Communist bloc aircraft. In 1973, the Squadron also visited Vazandia, providing Vazandian pilots a valuable opportunity to train against their main adversaries in the VeK-20 and MiG-21.

Since 2015 the 77th Combat Aviation Training Squadrons primary goal has been training VSO pilots against Vazandian aircraft such as the KmFzG-7 Boxfalke. Since the collapse of the VSO, the 77th Squadron's future has been thrust into uncertainty. Granzerian observer status in the EDEN entente and Vastava Pact has caused some within the Air Force to suggest flying the squadron against VP and EDEN pilots, both to provide the Granzerian air force with valuable intelligence about the capability of EDEN and VP pilots and provide VP and EDEN pilots with the opportunity to fly against Vazandian, VSO and KP aircraft such as the Boxfalke and V-10 Cyclone.
