Uka Airport was an airfield in Kamchatka Krai, Russia, located 11 km northwest of Uka.[1] In recent decades, it was probably a civilian airfield, but the configuration and runway length suggests that it may have been a military airfield during the 1950s or 1960s. This airfield was used during the Second World War by US airplanes on their way to Siberia for Lend-Lease program.[citation needed] Near the airfield is a very big old antenna built for the Russian space programme in 1950s.
