It is a large base for long-range aircraft, with 20 revetments in a remote area and large tarmac along parallel taxiway. Built in 1963, Fedotovo was a major source of Tupolev Tu-142 flights overshadowing the U.S. Navy fleet in the Atlantic. It served as reconnaissance for the North Fleet Air Arm [1].
