The airfield was first spotted by Western forces during Lockheed U-2 overflights in March 1958.[1] Analysts found a 7,600 x 150' runway but could not see much detail. Later missions revealed as many as 93 aircraft parked on the ramps,[2] most of them MiG-17 Fresco.[3] Around 1970, the airfield had been upgraded with Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon, though MiG-17 Fresco were still based here.[4]
By the 1980s, the airfield's interceptor role had diminished and many of the aircraft were replaced with tactical and attack aircraft. These included the Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer and Mikoyan MiG-27 Flogger.
