To date, according to official data from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Russian Aerospace Forces operate only 10 military and joint-based airfields in the Leningrad, Murmansk regions and the Republic of Karelia, and 9 more airfields are abandoned or transferred to spare ones after 2009.

The video clearly shows which airfields are not in operation after 2009.

Thus, about 10 military and joint-based airfields in the regions bordering Finland remain operational.:

- there are 6 military and joint-based airfields in the Murmansk region, including the Olenya long-range aviation airfield, where Tu-22 are stationed (indicated on the map in pulsating red) (abandoned - 5);

- in the Republic of Karelia - 1 joint base airfield in Petrozavodsk (Su-27, Su-27P);

- there are 3 joint-based airfields in the Leningrad region (abandoned - 4).

It is no secret that the exact quantitative and qualitative composition of the aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is classified information. However, we consider it important today to talk about the condition of the military airfields of the Far East against the background of the deployment of American troops in Finland, in particular, considering the transfer of nuclear weapons carriers – F-35 fighters.

According to official information alone, about 64 such fighters will be deployed at the Air Force base in Lapland, near the city of Rovaniemi by 2026.

We emphasize that at least 9 military and joint-based airfields are known to have been decommissioned in the regions bordering Finland, the runways have been dismantled, or the airfields have been transferred to the reserve and transferred to the commandant's office.

In our next article, for comparison, we will look at the airfield network of Finland.
