Chernyakhovsk (also Chernyahovsk or Tchernyatshovsk) is a naval air base in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia located 4 km southwest of Chernyakhovsk. It was listed as a nuclear bomber base by a Natural Resources Defense Council study. It is a medium sized interceptor airfield in Baltic region.

It was a major base for Su-24 (Fencer) aircraft [1] with up to 29 examples flown by 4 Gv MSHAP (4th Guards Naval Shturmovik Aviation Regiment) [2] with 29 a. It was also home to 15 ODRAP (15th Independent Long-Range Reconnaissance Regiment). A few sources cite the airfield as being a Tupolev Tu-16 base during the 1960s or 1970s.
