Belbek Airport

Sevastopol International Airport Belbek (IATA: UKS, ICAO: UKFB) is a military airfield near the village of Fruktove (formerly known as Belbek), near Sevastopol, Crimea. It was also used for civil aviation for six years from 2002 to 2007 under Ukrainian administration. Since 2014, following the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War and the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, the base has been operated by the Russian Ministry of Defence. In 2017, plans were published under Russian administration to restore the airfield into an international airport by 2020, but these did not materialize. The base was home to the 38th Fighter Aviation Regiment, which flies the Sukhoi Su-27 and Sukhoi Su-30 as part of the 27th Composite Aviation Division of the 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army. After a series of explosions, the unit was withdrawn from the airport at the end of 2022. NASA's FIRMS imagery shows that runway 07L/25R has been extended to 3.45 km.
