Borovitsy (also
Borovitsi,
Polotsk Northwest, and
Borovtsy) is an air base in
Belarus, located 16 km northwest of
Polatsk. It is a
Cold War air base with sprawling taxiway area and pads for about 40 aircraft. During the 1960s it was probably home to attack aircraft regiments, but by the 1980s it was served only by the 276 BVP (276th Combat Helicopter Regiment) flying
Mi-8 and
Mi-24 helicopters.
