The Mongolian Arat squadron (Russian: эскадрилья «Монгольский арат», romanized: Eskadrilya «Mongolski arat», lit. 'Mongolian Herdsman Air Squadron') was a fighter squadron in the Soviet Air Force, funded by contributions from the Mongolian People's Republic, that was operational during World War II. The Mongolian word "ard" (ард) means "people", but was malapropriated in Russian and other languages as "Arat" (арат) to mean a nomadic pastoralist or herdsman.
