Kherson Air Base[]
The base, also known as the Chornobaivka airfield, is home to the 11th Separate Army Aviation Regiment of the Ukrainian Army Aviation.[10]
It was one of the Ukrainian air bases attacked early in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[11] The Russian forces took over the airbase in the course of the battle of Kherson on 2 March 2022, and setup a command post there, which was targeted by the Ukrainian military several times since then.[12] On 16 March, Ukraine launched an airstrike against Russian forces at the airbase, destroying at least seven helicopters and a number of vehicles.[13] Ukrainian officials claimed the attacks killed two high-ranking Russian commanders, generals Andrey Mordvichev[14] and Yakov Rezantsev.[12] On 23 March, the Ukrainian media cited satellite imagery showing that most of the Russian military aircraft had been removed from the airfield, but the troops remained on the ground.[15]
