Andreapol is an air base in Tver Oblast, Russia located 3 km east of Andreapol. It was built as an interceptor base. It is home to 28 Gv IAP (28th Guards Interceptor Aviation Regiment), which flew MiG-23P aircraft in the early 1990s [1] and soon acquired MiG-29 aircraft, which continue in service to this day [2].
A MiG-29 crashed on May 12, 2005 near the air base.
