Magdagachi Airport (IATA:GDG,ICAO:UHBI) is a small airport inRussia'sAmur Oblast, located 3 km north ofMagdagachi. It is an old 1960s-era base in poor condition due to poor maintenance and the often harsh local climate. Satellite images show that it has a hardened runway, 10 revetments, and a small tarmac apron. During the mid-1970s theU.S. Department of Defense cited this as one of the bases used by theSoviet Union's first two identified air assault brigades. This brigade was the13th Separate Air Assault Brigade, formed in 1969.
