Eyeballing Russian Airbases

Post by DavieB » Mon Apr 18, 2022 3:56 pm

Google Maps has just released higher resolution satellite imagery of all Russian military installations (obviously includes air bases), so armed with this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category: ... orce_bases - I have just spent an entertaining hour eyeballing some. Fascinating stuff - by way of an example Engels AFB - https://goo.gl/maps/2BAeLL4y2SZ2t7Sd6 Enjoy!

Kaliningrad is quite interesting to have a look around..
Will be interesting to see if the imagery will be up to date -ish

Voronezh Malshevo AFB- a right eclectic mix - https://goo.gl/maps/1i9S4guRcJmjN9Sd6

Akhtubinsk, their Boscombe equivalent - https://goo.gl/maps/ttb1n4i5PGcrkqEU7 area to the north is a testing range.
