# Shatalovo air base

Shatalovo is an air base in Pochinok, Pochinkovsky District, Smolensk Oblast of the Russian Aerospace Forces. It was part of the 6th Air and Air Defence Forces Army, Western Military District.
The base is also known as Pochinok, Satalovo, and Shatoalovo. It is a large hardened air base with pads for 19 bombers and 15 fighters in addition to a small amount of tarmac space. It is a nuclear bomber base (Su-24) according to a Natural Resources Defense Council study. During the 1980s it was one of 17 airfields hosting the Soviet Union's tactical reconnaissance aircraft regiments. The normal complement at the air base in 1984 consisted of 9 to 13 each of the Sukhoi Su-24M and Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25R, and 3 to 5 Yakovlev Yak-28R, the latter of which was being phased out.

## History

In World War II, the German Luftwaffe occupied the local area and maintained two airfields: "Shatalovka-East" (54°22′10″N 32°32′10″E﻿ / ﻿54.36944°N 32.53611°E﻿ / 54.36944; 32.53611) which was later abandoned and returned to farmland, and "Shatalovka-West" (54°20′20″N 32°28′30″E﻿ / ﻿54.33889°N 32.47500°E﻿ / 54.33889; 32.47500) which became the later Soviet air base, and which the Russian Air Force took over in the 1990s.
The 32nd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment was stationed at the base from 1968 until it disbanded on 30 June 1989. It was part of the 9th Fighter Aviation Division headquartered at Kubinka.
Shatalovo was home to 164th ORAP (164th Independent Reconnaissance Aviation Regiment) flying Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 and Sukhoi Su-24 aircraft and 47 Gv ORAP (47th Guards Independent Reconnaissance Aviation Regiment) flying MiG-25RB aircraft in the 1990s. The 164th Guards ORAP arrived from Poland in 1992, and disbanded in 1997. It was also used by 1046th TsBP i PLS (1046th Aircrew Combat Training and Retraining Centre) flying 17 MiG-25, 14 Sukhoi Su-17C, and 13 Su-24 aircraft in 1991.
As of February 2022, the base was home to the 4th Independent Reconnaissance Aviation Squadron equipped with Sukhoi Su-24MR (NATO: Fencer-E) and Antonov An-30 (ASCC: Clank) aircraft.

# Lancieux

Lancieux (French pronunciation: ; Breton: Lanseeg; Gallo: Lansioec) is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department of Brittany in northwestern France.

## Toponymy

Lancieux derives its name from the Breton lann ("hermitage") and Seoc, Cieux, or Sieu, a monk who came from British Cornwall at the end of the 6th century AD; therefore it can be translated as "the hermitage of Seoc".

## Population

Inhabitants of Lancieux are called lancieutins or lancieutains in French.

## Personalities

The British-Canadian poet and writer Robert W. Service, known as the "Bard of the Yukon", used to spend summers in Lancieux from 1913 until his death in 1958. He had a deep affection for the town and its scenic seaside. On many occasions, he made monetary gifts to the town, including for the school and the war memorial. Service is buried in the town cemetery.
The town of Lancieux has paid homage to the memory of Robert W. Service. One of its streets has been called Robert Service Street. A few years later, on May 18, 2002 the school of Lancieux took the name of "École Robert W. Service". Since 2000, Lancieux and Whitehorse, Yukon are sister cities.
