Monument to the 16th Air Army Pilots, Kursk, Military memorial in Kursk, Russia.

The Monument to the 16th Air Army Pilots stands as a concrete and metal structure featuring aviation elements and commemorative plaques near the center of Kursk.

During World War II in 1943, the 16th Air Army pilots demonstrated exceptional skill and determination during the Battle of Kursk against German forces.

The monument reflects Soviet architectural design principles of the mid-20th century through its geometric shapes and strong vertical lines representing flight and heroism.
