It is home to the 61st Fighter Air Base, flying Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29s, and Sukhoi Su-30s.[3]
It is located to the south of the city of Baranovichi. In 1950 the 61st Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Soviet Air Defence Forces' 2nd Air Defence Army was established at the base.[4] The base has been in major use since November 7, 1951 when it received the 45th Heavy Bomber Aviation Division and 203rd TBAP and became one of the prime strategic bomber base of the early 1950s.[1] Holm confirms the 45th TBAD arrived in November 1951, but gives the receiving base's coordinates as 53 5 51N, 26 2 50E.[5] The 45th TBAD was under the 79th Guards Bomber Aviation Corps, and later the 50th Air Army. It conducted numerous Tupolev Tu-16A sorties to the high arctic starting in the mid 1950s. It also deployed a Tu-16 to Tiksi and onward to ice station SP-6 for field trials in 1958.
Baronovichi was one of nine major operating locations for the Tupolev Tu-22 Blinder in the mid-1960s,[6] which had an anti-surface warfare role in the Baltic Sea well into the 1980s.[7] Baronovichi also hosted an interceptor regiment flying Mikoyan MiG-25 Foxbat aircraft in the 1980s.[7]
