Primorsko-Akhtarsk is an air base of the Russian Aerospace Forces as part of the 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army, Southern Military District.
The base was first used in 1954 by a regiment (1689th) of the Yeysk aviation school. Today it is home to the 960th Assault Aviation Regiment (960th ShAP) which has two squadrons of Sukhoi Su-25SM/SM3 (NATO: Frogfoot-A)[1] [2]
The 559th Bomber Aviation Regiment deployed here from Morozovsk air base with their Sukhoi Su-34s as part of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3]
On 2 July 2023 Russian Telegram channels claimed that Russian air defences had "downed a missile" leaving a 10m deep, 4m wide crater some 200 metres from the runway. The airbase is used, according to Ukraine, to launch Shahed-136 type drones and Kalibr missiles.[4]
