The regiment is armed with self-propelled artillery and MLRS, and has been participating in the war against Ukraine since 2022; this fact about the unit's profile should be noted separately as a clarification to existing data.
It has been established that military unit 87714 is the 8th Guards Artillery Regiment, formed in 2014 immediately after the occupation of Crimea (originally as the 8th Artillery Regiment of the Coastal Troops of the Black Sea Fleet), and not an aviation regiment, as might be inferred from the abbreviation '8 OAP' in the database.
