Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Urup Airport, Russia:

Old Soviet airfield used for rusupplying the garrison stationed here until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The island is uninhabited!

The Runway is probably no good but for information:

Rwy 50/23 - Concrete - 1180m

Rwy 12/30 - Overgrown Concrete - 1470m

This airport is operated by the Russians as part of their claim on the disputed Kuril Islands, near Japan.
