Novofedorivka ((ロシア語:Новофёдоровка), Novofyodorovka, , (ウクライナ語:Новофедорівка)) is an urban-type settlement and a military air base (ICAO: UKFI) on the Black Sea coast in Saky Raion in western Crimea. Novofedorivka was established in 1992.〔(Brief information ). Saky Raion website.〕 Population: . It is located about south of the regional centre of Saky, and about north of Sevastopol. Formerly a base of Soviet Naval Aviation as "Saky-4", it came under the Ukrainian Navy control with the breakup of the Soviet Union. It was captured by Russian forces without resistance on March 22, 2014. ==History== At the time of the Yalta Conference in February 1944 during World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's and Prime Minister Winston Churchill's aircraft landed on the airfield. Later the airfield played an important role in the work of the Center for Deep Space Communications near Yevpatoriya.〔(Boris Chertok Rockets and People. Vol.3. p.489, 608, 653, 655, 702, 709, 720 )〕 The Soviet Black Sea Fleet used Novofyodorovka as a major air base. The base was also home to the only Soviet aircraft carrier shore-based landing, trainer and test site, the Nazyemniy Ispitateiniy Treynirovochniy Kompleks Aviatsii (NITKA), with arresting gear and a ski-jump ramp that was a full-sized replica of the bow of the ''Admiral Kuznetsov''. The flying unit at the base appears to have been the 1063rd Center for Combat Employment Shipborne Aviation from 1988 to 1992.〔Michael Holm, http://www.ww2.dk/new/navy/1063tsbpka.htm, accessed March 2014.〕 After 1992, the base continued to be leased by the Russian Navy.〔Ukraine reopens training base to Russian pilots, Reuben F Johnson, Jane's Defence Weekly (p6), 14 April 2010〕〔(Ukraine reopens training base to Russian pilots ), Reuben F Johnson, Jane's Defence Weekly, 9 April 2010〕 During the 2008 South Ossetia War, the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko, stopped Russian pilots from using the carrier training facilities. This decision was reversed in April 2010.〔 Meanwhile, the Russian Navy had begun to build a similar facility at Yeysk in the Krasnodar Krai region by the Sea of Azov.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Novofedorivka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
