Buturlinovka is an air base in Russia located 4 km south of the town of Buturlinovka. There are two small alert pads at either end of runway for 10 fighters. It has probably been adapted for civilian use.
Units stationed at Buturlinovka include 186 ISHAP (186th Instructional Shturmovik Aviation Regiment) flying 45 Su-25 jet aircraft during the early 1990s [1] [2]. It is now home to the 899 'Orsha' Guards ShAP of the 16th Air Army, flying Su-25s.[3]
