Typical Soviet hardware like bombers for the jump over the pole and interceptors to try and discourage SR-71 overflights....any idea what jets they had based there?
The Russians are reactivating several Arctic bases, as are the Canadians.....I just noticed that they've reactivated the base on the Kotelny Island, deactivated since '93..
Rogachevo air base had stationed at one time or another:
Tu-128, YaK-28, Su-27 and more recently, MiG-31
Amderma air base (also used as a civil field: AMV) had stationed:
Tu-128, MiG-19 and MIG-31
They have also re-opened an old emergency field on Kotelny with the intentions of building a new base. In addition, they are planning on building quite a few new air bases in the region.
