Bolshiye Shiraki Air Base

Bolshiye Shiraki Air Base is a former Soviet military airfield located in the Kakheti region of eastern Georgia. It was used by Soviet forces during the Cold War era and subsequently came under Georgian control following the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. The facility has largely been dormant in terms of active military or commercial operations in recent decades. Its remote location in the semi-arid steppe of eastern Georgia has limited its development into a civilian airport. The airfield retains basic infrastructure from its Soviet-era construction but has seen minimal investment or regular use.
