About Orenburg Air Base

Orenburg (also given as Orenburg Southwest) is a Military Transport Aviation base in Russia located 9 km southwest of Orenburg. It has a large tarmac and revetments for 35 large transports. It is sometimes erroneously referred to as Chalovskiy Airport. [1].

The base is home to the 117th Military Transport Aviation Regiment as part of the 18th Guards Military Transport Aviation Division.

The 128th Guards Military Transport Air Regiment (128 Gv TAP) flying Ilyushin Il-76M arrived from Panevėžys Air Base in newly independent Lithuania in 1992. It was subordinated to 18th Guards Military Transport Aviation Division. The regiment was disbanded in 1998.

Until 1996, the 336th Aircraft Repair Plant of the Ministry of Defense - military unit 13814 (which repaired An-26 aircraft, previously Il-28) operated at the airfield. In 1998, a number of its facilities located in Orenburg, Aviagorodok-2 (Pristantsionny village) were transferred to municipal ownership.
