About Umbozero Air Base

For the lake, see Umbozero Lake

Umbozero (also Umba) is a Soviet Naval Aviation and Russian Navy reserve airfield in Murmansk Oblast, Russia located in the southwest Kola Peninsula 3 km north of Umbozero. It is located 165 km southeast of Murmansk. This airfield provides 20 revetments for combat aircraft.

Umbozero was identified in the early 1960s by US reconnaissance aircraft, but only a few aircraft were observed at the airfield. In summer 1967 the runway was being paved. No regiment is believed to have been assigned permanently to the base, and as it contains almost no infrastructure it is thought to be a dispersal airfield for tactical aircraft.
