Station history

Kansk has been the longtime base of the 712th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment, flying the Mikoyan MiG-31. The regiment flew MiG-17 aircraft during the 1970s, MiG-25, Su-15TM aircraft during the 1980s and MiG-31 aircraft during the 1990s.[1][2] In 2009 the regiment was retitled the 6979th Air Base but in 2015 returned to its previous designation. Kansk-Dalny was originally an unpaved runway until it was modernized in 1975 with the construction of a concrete runway, taxiways and revetments as a result of the conversion of the 712th Guards to the Sukhoi Su-15TM. The 712th Guards were previously based at Kansk-Tsentralny,[3] an old 2000m runway, with no taxiways that exists between the city and airfield, closed in the 1990s.

In December 2012, six MiG-31BM modernized fighter jets entered service with the Kansk Aviation Group.[4][5] The 712th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment is tasked with the air defense of key locations in its area of responsibility.

From the mid-1980s to 1994, the 15th Separate Aviation Rescue Detachment (OASO), equipped with the Tupolev A-3 Aerosledge, Mi-8T, and An-12BP, was based at the airfield.

The 662nd Training Regiment of the 22nd Air Gunners and Radio Operators School (Military Unit Number 15435) was also based at the airfield until the mid-1990s, operating the L-39, An-2, and An-24VSR.

Accidents and incidents

• In April 2008, a serious accident occurred. At the 21st minute of the flight, at an altitude of 16,213 m and a true speed of 2,414 km / h, the folding part of the lantern of the first cockpit, in which Lieutenant Colonel Kozitsky KN was located, broke down and depressurized both cabins aircraft. The crew took actions to reduce speed and altitude in extremely low temperatures (below −55 degrees Celsius), and then made a safe landing at the airfield. For the courage and high professionalism shown, the crew consisting of lieutenant colonel of Vladimir Prikhodko and Konstantin Kozitsky was presented with state awards.[6]
