Baku Kala Air Base is a military airbase in Baku[1] (also known as Bakü or Baki), the capital of Azerbaijan.
The 518th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the PVO was located at Baku Kala from 1949 to 1952.[2]
After the collapse of the Soviet Armed Forces, aircraft were relocated to airfields in Russia, and the Azerbaijani Air Force used the airport. Currently, the 843rd Mixed Aviation Regiment of the Azerbaijani Air Force is located here.
