Location

Priozersk, Kazakhstan

Kambala Air Base is a military installation located near Priozersk in Kazakhstan, situated in the vicinity of the Sary-Shagan test range along the shores of Lake Balkhash. The facility has historically been associated with Soviet and later Kazakhstani military aviation and missile defense testing activities in the region. The base operates under military jurisdiction and is not open to commercial passenger traffic. Its remote location in the steppe of central Kazakhstan reflects its strategic role during the Soviet era, when Sary-Shagan served as a major anti-ballistic missile and space defense testing ground.
