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. From 1967-93, it hosted a Military Transport Aviation regiment, from 1989 with Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft.[1]
It was home to 193 Gv ORAP (193rd Guards Independent Reconnaissance Aviation Regiment) flying MiG-25RB, Yak-27, and Yak-28R aircraft in the 1980s. The regiment was disbanded in 1989.[2]
