Savastleyka (also Murom, Savostleyka, or Savasleika) is an air base in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia located 16 km northeast of Vykska. The Tupolev Tu-128 was originally fielded here in 1964. It is a small airfield with a utilitarian layout and a small number of unpaved fighter revetments.
Savastleyka was home to 54 IAP (54th Interceptor Aviation Regiment) with Su-27 aircraft in 1994 and today, as part of the 4th Aircrew Combat Training Centre at Lipetsk Air Base. The 4th absorbed the previous 148 TsBP i PLS (Aircrew Combat Training and Retraining Centre) of the PVO (Air Defense) with Su-17, Su-27, MiG-31MLD, and Mi-8 aircraft after 1998. [1].
