Engels-2, Military air base in Saratov Oblast, Russia
Engels-2 spreads across an extensive area with a 3,500-meter runway and multiple hangars designed for strategic bomber aircraft maintenance and operations.
The base originated in 1952 under Soviet Armed Forces command and evolved from a pilot training facility into a major strategic bomber installation.
The base museum contains an extensive collection of aircraft, munitions, and documents that detail the development of Russian long-range aviation through generations.
The facility maintains specialized infrastructure for the Tupolev Tu-160 strategic bombers, including fuel storage systems and maintenance workshops for these specific aircraft.
Engels-2 stands as the only operational base in Russia that houses and maintains the Tupolev Tu-160, the largest and heaviest combat aircraft currently in use.
