About Severny Air Base
Severny is an air base in Russia located 200 km east of Orsk. It was a 1960s-era bomber base. The facility is mostly plowed under but 8 large pads are noted. It is located only 3 km from the Kazakhstan border to east.
Severny (meaning "North", Russian: Северный) is also an airport in Smolensk Oblast, the site of the 10 April 2010 crash of the Polish flight which killed the Polish President and approximately 95 other passengers.
