About Leonidovo Air Base

Wikipedia ↗

Leonidovo was a Soviet Naval Aviation reserve airfield in the remote central area of Sakhalin, Russia located 5 km (3 mi) east of Leonidovo. Declassified KH-7 imagery obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey shows that it existed in June 1966 without much difference compared to today. In recent times it was shortened to 2000 m. High-resolution Google Earth imagery shows that the airfield has been decommissioned, with the 2 km (1 mi) runway being used as a storage pad for petroleum industry supplies.
