This year, the Ministry of Defense will commission the Steppe airfield, located in Transbaikalia, according to News.
After reconstruction, the airfield will receive one of the longest runways in the world (more than 3 km) and will be able to receive any type of military aircraft.

From Soviet times, “Steppe” was the home of the 6 th bomber and 58 th fighter bomber regiments. From 1990, the 266 th assault air regiment was based there. Closed the airfield in 2010 year. The decision to reconstruct it was taken by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in 2013. Construction work was delayed due to the climatic peculiarities - in winter, the soil was frozen for several meters, which excluded the possibility of building runways and other infrastructure.
