Verino airfield

Verino airfield was a Soviet Air Force based in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia located 5 km (3 mi) northeast of Pereyaslavka, Russia and about 35 miles (55 km) south of Khabarovsk.

Verino was an 1st Air Army airfield, with the 300 and 302nd Bomber Aviation Regiment a mainstay in later years.

The United States Air Force first spotted the airfield during Lockheed U-2 overflights in March 1958.

Later missions revealed as many as 93 aircraft parked on the ramps,[2] most of them Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17s (ASCC "Fresco").

[3] Around 1970, upgraded aircraft, the Sukhoi Su-15 (ASCC "Flagon,") had arrived, though MiG-17s were still based here.
