Chudovo (also Chudovo Northwest) is a former air base in Leningrad Oblast, Russia located 12 km south of Lyuban.[1] It appears to be an abandoned bare-bones forward deployment base and is cut tightly into forest. It is currently[when?] used as a parachute school. Russian sources mostly refer to it as "Lyuban", in reference to the nearby town.
