7062th Air Base
Identification
Open-source order-of-battle records identify military unit 62250 as the former 289th Independent Port-Artur Red Banner Anti-Submarine Aviation Regiment, redesignated the 7062nd Aviation Base on 1 August 2009. Russian fleet-aviation histories place the 7062 base at Nikolayevka with additional operating sites at Knevichi and Kamenny Ruchey. The first placemark’s coordinates align with Nikolayevka in Partizansky District, indicating this is a distributed multi-airfield formation rather than a single airstrip.

Primorye hub
Recent Pacific Fleet reporting from April and September 2025 shows a separate mixed naval-aviation regiment in Primorsky Krai flying Il-38/Il-38N, An-26, Ka-27 and Ka-29 aircraft in flight-tactical drills, anti-submarine search, dispersal and strike training. Older reporting ties comparable Il-38 activity specifically to Nikolayevka. An official Primorsky Krai transport register also lists two rail sidings owned by v/ch 62250 at Partizansk and at the “post 132 km” junction, supporting rail-linked logistics access for the main Primorye complex.

Knevichi element
The second placemark is consistent with Vladivostok/Knevichi. The airport operator describes Knevichi as a Class A aerodrome jointly based with the Ministry of Defense, 38 km northeast of Vladivostok, with a 3,502 x 60 m paved runway and 25 civil parking stands. Open-source fleet histories place a 7062 air-base element at Knevichi and associate the field with Pacific Fleet transport aviation, but exact current aircraft numbers at this sub-site are not publicly confirmed in authoritative sources.

Kamenny Ruchey detachment
The third placemark aligns with Kamenny Ruchey/Mongokhto in Khabarovsk Krai. Recent reporting states that Pacific Fleet Tu-142M3 crews were conducting training flights from Kamenny Ruchey, and TASS reported in March 2024 that Tu-142M3 aircraft from Pacific Fleet naval aviation were flying anti-submarine missions over the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific. A 2013 municipal-election record also shows personnel of v/ch 62250 serving in Mongokhto, supporting the linkage between unit 62250 and this long-range detachment.

Assessment
The best-supported identification is a Pacific Fleet naval-aviation formation centered on Nikolayevka and linked in open sources to Knevichi and Kamenny Ruchey under the 7062 designation. Public reporting supports Il-38/Il-38N, helicopter and An-26 activity in Primorye and Tu-142M3 activity from Kamenny Ruchey. Publicly available sources do not reliably confirm the exact current order of battle or aircraft counts at each sub-site, so the placemark equipment totals should be treated as unverified unless corroborated elsewhere.
