Nagurskoye (Russian: Нагу́рское; also written as Nagurskaja) (ICAO: UODN) is an airfield in Alexandra Land in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia located 1,350 kilometres (840 mi) north of Murmansk.
[citation needed] The airfield is operational, maintained by Frontier Guards (FSB) and capable of servicing An-26 and An-72 aircraft.
Il-76 cargo aircraft can land at each of the two unsurfaced runways and have been carrying supplies, equipment and personnel.
The runway expansion can support permanent deployments of combat jets to Moscow's most northerly base.
Deploying interceptors, maritime strike fighters, airborne early warning and maritime patrol aircraft at Nagurskoye would give Russia a significant military edge in the Arctic; while refuelling long-range bombers there would noticeably extend their range.
