Former Soviet military air base in eastern Georgia.

Location

Bolshiye Shiraki, Georgia

Bolshiye Shiraki Air Base is a former Soviet military airfield located in the Kakheti region of eastern Georgia, near the village of Bolshiye Shiraki. The facility was constructed during the Soviet era and served as a strategic military installation within the USSR's air defense network. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the base was inherited by Georgia and has seen limited operational use. It has been considered for various redevelopment purposes, including potential civilian or joint-use conversion, though no significant commercial aviation activity has been established there.
