Chekurovka was an Arctic military airfield in Sakha Republic, Russia located 89 km southwest of Tiksi.[1] It is a remote, large bomber staging base that was either abandoned during construction or commissioned for emergency use.[1] It was probably built around 1960 as a forward deployment base for the Soviet Union's strategic bomber force and abandoned shortly afterward.[1] Its status and condition are unknown.
Reconnaissance imagery showed that two aircraft were observed on the air base in 1968.[2]
