Kupino was initially observed in the late 1950s by Western Lockheed U-2 overflights and was originally a training airfield. The 849th Fighter Aviation Regiment PVO was based there from 1962.[1] A 1966 satellite mission identified 30 Sukhoi Su-9 (Fishpot), confirming its role as an interceptor base, as well as first-generation interceptors that included 16 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 and 9 Yakovlev Yak-25.[2] An air warning radar facility was identified 1 mile northwest of the runway.[2]

The regiment continued to operate the Su-9 into the 1970s.[3] The regiment replaced it in 1980 with the MiG-23P (Flogger-G).[3]

The base was closed after the end of the Cold War and the aviation regiment was disbanded in 1998.[1]
