Kryvyi Rih (during the USSR period was also called in Russian: Krivoy Rog) is a Ukrainian Air Force airbase located near Kryvyi Rih city in south-central Ukraine.
The base was home to the 16th Military-Transport Aviation Regiment of the Soviet Air Forces between 1964 and 1979 with the Antonov An-12.[5] along with the 363rd Military-Transport Aviation Regiment between 1946 and 1992 with the Ilyushin Il-76MD.[6]
In 2017, in view of the funding and position on increasing combat capabilities, the Air Force Command decided to restore the airfield. Now [in 2018] "Kryvyi Rih" is ready to receive all aircraft types that are in service.
On 19 September 2023, Russian sources claimed that a ZALA Lancet conducted a strike against a Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29 fighter stationed at Krivoi Rog, some 70 km from front line on the Dnieper River. The MiG was reportedly hit near the cockpit.[7]
