Ukurey (also Komsomolsk and Areda) is an air base in Chitinskaja Oblast, Russia located 24 km southwest of Chernyshevsk. It is a medium-size base with 2 parallel taxiways, tarmacs, and 12 revetments. One anecdotal report suggests it serves Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft.
It was home to 193 Gv ORAP (193rd Guards Independent Reconnaissance Aviation Regiment) flying MiG-25RB aircraft in the 1980s and Yak-27 and Yak-28R aircraft by the early 1990s.
