Soviet Air Force ;Morskaya Aviatsiya (Soviet Naval Air Service)The USSR received 2,908 Douglas twin-engined attack aircraft; more than one in three Havocs produced. The Soviet Air Force (VVS) often modified the aircraft using Soviet gun turrets and armament.
Nearly every anti-shipping aircraft in the Soviet Naval Air Service was a Havoc A-20G fitted to drop torpedoes and mines.

"Conversation with the maintenance chiefof an A-20G Boston of the 51st MTAP (Mine-Torpedo Air Regiment), Nikolay Alekseevich Sterlikov (regiment commander's aircraft, serial number 43-10067, tail number 51)" Moscow, 29 December 2002] ]
In one surprising instance, a Havoc was shot down by the Luftwaffe over the Gulf of Finland and it was discovered that the gunner was a woman. Women primarily appeared in the Soviet Air Force in three official regiments but a few served alongside men in otherwise all-male units.
