Yefremov (air base)


Yefremov is a military air base in Tula Oblast, Russia. It is located 9 km east of the town of the same name. It largely served the interceptor air defense role for the Soviet Air Force. The host unit was the 191 IAP.
Yefremov initially operated the Sukhoi Su-9 in the 1960s and 1970s. The regiment replaced it in 1980 with the MiG-23P.
The base was reportedly closed in 1994 and the aviation regiment was disbanded.
