Kaliningrad Chkalovsk (also Chkalovskoye, Tchalov, or Prowehren) is a naval air base in Chkalovsk, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia located 9 kilometers northwest of Kaliningrad. Most instances in Russian aviation literature of Chkalovsk or Chkalovskoye refer specifically to this large airfield. A significant Baltic naval base, it is Kaliningrad's largest airfield with four separate complexes for bomber and fighter parking.

The base is home to the 689th Guards Fighter Regiment which uses the Sukhoi Su-27P/UP (ASCC: Flanker) as part of the 132nd Composite Aviation Division as part of the Baltic Fleet.^[1]
