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]
