Kherson Air Base[edit]

The base, also known as the Chornobaivka airfield, was home to the 11th Separate Army Aviation Regiment of the Ukrainian Army Aviation.^[9]

It was one of the Ukrainian air bases attacked early in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[10] The Russian forces took over the airbase in the course of the battle of Kherson on 2 March 2022, and set up a command post there, which was targeted by the Ukrainian military several times since then.^[11] On 16 March, Ukraine launched an airstrike against Russian forces at the airbase, destroying at least seven helicopters and a number of vehicles.^[12] Ukrainian officials claimed the attacks killed two high-ranking Russian commanders, generals Andrey Mordvichev^[13] and Yakov Rezantsev.^[11] 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.^[14]

Ukrainian attacks against Russian forces extended up to 5 November,^[15] and on 11 November, Chornobaivka and the airport were liberated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.^[16] Russian forces left in the area what has been described as "a huge minefield and a graveyard of Russian weapons, vehicles and personnel".^[17]
