__NOTOC__ Mys Shmidta Airport ((ロシア語:Аэропорт Мыс Шмидта)) , also known as Cape Shmidt Airport, is a former military airbase in the Iultinsky District of Chukotka, Russia. It is located southeast of Mys Shmidta. It is a major airfield with a concrete tarmac. It was built in 1954 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Avia.ru )〕 as an Arctic staging base for intercontinental bomber flights, with caretaker services provided by OGA (Arctic Control Group). The gravel overrun suggests that the runway was to eventually be extended to 3000 m. Unlike airports such as the Provideniya Bay Airport, which has always been a civilian airport, or the Iultin Airport, which was constructed specifically to serve the needs of the remote mine nearby, the Mys Shmidta airport was initially part of the ring of forward staging bases used by the Arctic Control Group (OGA) prior to intercontinental ballistic missiles gaining favour as the primary means of long-range defense.〔GlobalSecurity.org.
