## Description

Hardened shelters, a single military runway and two combat aviation regiments describe Budyonnovsk air base in Russia's Stavropol Krai, roughly 14 kilometres south-east of the town of the same name. The field belongs to the Russian Aerospace Forces within the 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army of the Southern Military District and hosts the 368th Assault Aviation Regiment flying Sukhoi Su-25 aircraft alongside an independent helicopter regiment. No civil passenger or cargo flights operate here, and no public IATA or ICAO codes are assigned for commercial use. For shippers the location is therefore irrelevant: there is no cargo handling, no forwarder access and no customs office. The wider region has also seen repeated drone attacks on industrial and fuel installations since 2024/25, and Russia's aviation authority frequently imposes short-notice restrictions at southern Russian airports. Where sanctions permit, air freight for Stavropol Krai is routed through Mineralnye Vody (MRV) with about 200 kilometres of onward trucking.
