Attack Section


Explanation:
That's what wiki says:
In some air forces, a section is a unit containing two to four aircraft and up to 20 personnel. Two or three sections usually make up a flight.

During the Second World War:
in the German Luftwaffe, the equivalent unit was a Rotte; two sections made up a, called a Schwarm, with three flights, along with headquarters and support personnel, comprising a Staffel.
the Soviet Red Air Force it was a zveno or para).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_(military_unit)#Air_fo...

So equivalent for zveno is section.
Generally a wing is formed by two or more squadrons, a squadron is divided into three or four flights, a flight contains two or three sections.
This being said, in Russia squadron directly consists of several zveno, threee to four aicraft each.
