Dolinsk-Sokol (appearing in various forms as Sokol, Dolinsk-Sokol, Dolinsk Sokol, Solok [sic]) is a military air base in Sakhalin Oblast, Russia located 8 km south of Dolinsk. It is a small base with no hardened areas. It existed before June 1966 according to declassified KH-7 satellite images. Its chief operating unit was 365 IAP (365th Interceptor Aviation Regiment), flying the Su-15, MiG-23, and Su-27 during its 40 years of tenure [1]. In the 1980s it received the MiG-31 [2]. It is also listed as being home to 361 IIVP (361st Instruction Test Helicopter Regiment) flying Mi-24and Mi-8 helicopters [3].
Dolinsk-Sokol carries an infamous reputation as being home to the Sukhoi Su-15 that shot down Korean Air Flight 007 in September 1983.
