  I agree, but that's just the article was written, as always in the style of "urya- "and bears little resemblance to the real state of affairs.
  But in fact:
  1. Quote of the article - "the military airfield in Yekaterinburg (Koltsovo) was repaired", as a "military" airfield Koltsovo ceased to exist in 1951 and was named Koltsovo Civil Airport.
  2. And the military has a separate basing sector there (on the right when approaching with MK268gr. (Parking lots and all sorts of TECH, OBATO and OBS sites), assigned to the Air Force of the Ural Military District.
  3. All management is carried out by Koltsovo Airport PJSC and Ural Airlines. (For the military there is a "separate corner" in the flight control room at the ADP, where the military RP with his ATC sits.)
  4. So that repairs can be made only of parking lots (relocation and expansion), but not of the entire airfield
  5. By the way, the covering of the entire field of the airfield is an asphalt-concrete surface, but not at all ...
  6. And renting a parking lot at the airport for temporary basing is much cheaper and more logistic than relocating transport planes and a command unit, for example, to Shagol or Kamensk-Uralsky.
  (after all, the headquarters of the UVO itself and the headquarters of the Air Force of the UVO and the headquarters of the 2nd command of the Air Force and Air Defense (formerly the 14 Army of the Air Force and Air Defense)
  remained .. "in place"

    We have a lot of messages to cheer you up, t.s.
    So many suffer from this.
    These are the times and there is a "war" on the pages of the media ... there is nothing special about that either.

    Why can't the Air Force take Aramil for itself - he's practically empty?

      When I lived there in Aramil there was a dirt road, and the parking lots .. "pieces of iron" .. Mi-4 were based .... (they flew to hunt them .. cool).
      My first acquaintance was with him in primary school ... father, the kingdom of heaven to him ... I decided to go for a ride ... after 10 minutes ... I was sitting downstairs with a bucket in my arms

        However, there is an asphalt-concrete runway 1800 at 40. MiG-29s land easily - they somehow were on an "air holiday". Mi-4 saw live only in childhood - 2-storey helicopter

The Ministry of Defense has adopted an extensive plan for the construction of new airfields, the restoration of abandoned ones and the repair of existing ones, and it is being implemented. I hope that the network of civilian airfields will also be restored. For Russia, with its vast expanses, this is very important. Moreover, civil airfields can be made for joint use with the Russian Air Force.

Hence expansion is planned. After all, if the airfield was repaired without relocation and the work did not interfere with the combat work of existing units, then it did not interfere with the repair and half or a third of the GDP (how many plates could be changed there at the same time) was enough for the existing aircraft, and after repair it will take a lot more - hence the conclusion about expansion.

  The military did not touch the runway, because they have no ... well, any .. "touch"

  We only renovated our parking lots and taxiways.
  Everything else has already been written above

  This is when he suddenly became "1st class" with a runway size of 2500x40?
  The possibility of accepting the Il-76 is not yet a fact that it is possible to assign the category "1st class" to an airfield.
  And in terms of the wingspan of the aircraft and the distance between the outer wheels of the main landing gear, it generally falls under the "3rd class"
