List of Soviet Air Force bases

This List of Soviet Air Force bases is a list containing all air bases within the Soviet Union or utilized by the Soviet Air Forces.

Dates shown indicate years during which units and aircraft were known to be at that airbase.

In Russia the airbase naming convention seems to be to use the nearest village name, or in the case of a large city, use a numerical designator, e.g. Severomorsk-2.

This is also the convention that is used in declassified FOIA documents in the CIA archive website.

Therefore, the construction 'X Air Base' or 'X Air Force Base' in regard to the USSR and Russian Federation appears to be incorrect.
