Aleysk is an air base in Altai, Russia located 6 km west of Aleysk. It comprises the remains of a small airfield, apparently razed during the 1990s to make way for farmland.
During the 1970s or 1980s it was home to 812 IAP (812th Interceptor Aviation Regiment) flying MiG-23MLD aircraft.
The Aleysk area was once the home to a division of the Strategic Rocket Forces, which the 812 IAP may have been designated to protect. There were 30 silos for RS-20/SS-18 'Satan' ICBMs in the area, but in late 2001/early 2002, the silos were destroyed in accordance with US/Soviet arms reduction treaties. The process was observed by United States Air Force representatives.
The SRF's Aleysk military garrison area, which included housing, a school, three kindergartens, a swimming pool, and a large amount of other equipment, is now home to the 122nd Motor Rifle Division of the Siberian Military District's Ground Forces.
