Magdagachi Airport (IATA: GDG, ICAO: UHBI) is a small airport in Russia located 3 km north of Magdagachi. It is an old 1960s-era base in poor condition. Satellite images show that it is hardened with 10 revetments and a small tarmac. In the mid-1970s the U.S. Department of Defense cited this as one of the Soviet Union's first two identified air assault brigades. This brigade was the 13 ODShBR (13th Nonintegrated Combat Assault Brigade), formed in 1969.
