49 Baza Lotnicza, Military airbase in Pruszcz Gdanski, Poland
49 Baza Lotnicza is a helicopter base in Pruszcz Gdanski that concentrates on aerial operations to support Polish Land Forces with Mi-24 and Mi-2 helicopters. The installation includes areas for aircraft maintenance, fuel and ammunition storage, as well as training facilities for military personnel.
The facility resulted from the reorganization of the 49th Combat Helicopter Regiment and took its current form on January 1, 2012. This restructuring created a specialized unit focused entirely on helicopter operations with a new organizational framework.
This facility serves as a center for helicopter operations and carries forward the legacy of several Polish aviation units through its traditions. The annual commemoration on June 15 connects these historical lineages with its current military role.
The facility operates as a secured military base and is not open to public visits since it is designated solely for military operations and training purposes. Information about the installation remains limited due to security protocols, and access to specific details requires official requests with authorities.
The base operates under the designation Military Unit 1300 and participates in the Kruk program for introducing new combat helicopters. This modernization initiative represents a significant step forward in updating Polish helicopter capabilities.
