Tu-16 (Tupolev Tu-16 NATO reporting name: Badger), to the delight of local children and visitors, stands next to the aircraft factory as a museum exhibit.

Entered the territory of the airfield 🙂

The airfield is not abandoned but mothballed, the lights of the runway are on, a patrol in the form of a sergeant is riding in a minibus, military are sitting in some rooms 🙂

In the distance we can see the goal of our visit to the airfield, the Tu-22M3 (The Tupolev Tu-22M (Russian: Туполев Ту-22М; NATO reporting name: Backfire) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing, long-range strategic and maritime strike bomber developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau.), but on the approach to the aircraft there is an obstacle in the form of a spiked ribbon 🙂

Crawled inside.
