The Krupets Highway Airstrip is a 2500 meter (8200 foot) section of the M06 Highway located between Lviv and Rivne, Ukraine. The roadway here has been prepared to serve as an auxiliary air base to allow military aircraft to continue operating if their regular air bases are made unusable by damage. For this purpose, two parking / turnaround areas were constructed at each end of the runway section, and the center median is paved and kept free of barriers, road signs, street lights, and other obstructions. In recent years, aircraft of the 114th Tactical Aviation Brigade (MiG-29) and the 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade (Su-27) have carried out exercises at this facility.
During approaches to this airfield, care must be taken to land only in the prepared runway area, as the road beyond in both directions contains a grass median, center divider, street lights, and other hazards. During a training exercise at this facility in August 2020, a Ukrainian Su-27 Flanker accidentally landed short and struck a road sign, but was able to take off again and land safely.
Three versions are availble for download. To use this scenery, it is recommended, but not required, that you own the MiG-29 Fulcrum aircraft by Deimos (payware available from the MSFS Marketplace). If you have this aircraft installed, download the main file, and you will see several MiG-29s in the parking areas undergoing maintenance and pre-flight preparations.
If you do not own the Deimos MiG-29, the MiGs will not appear, and I recommend downloading the second "no MiGs" version of the file, as this deletes the ground support equipment located around the MiGs and will give you a bit more space to maneuver in the parking areas.
If you prefer the Asobo F/A-18E Super Hornet in Ukrainian colors, download the third "Super Hornets" version of the file, and the MiG-29s will be replaced by that jet. You will need to have the Ukrainian livery, available here at flightsim.to, for it to work. Make sure you have the regular Asobo version of the livery installed, even if you are also using the Super Warrior mod.
If DC Designs ever releases their Su-27, I may make a 4th version of this scenery to feature that aircraft.
The assigned ICAO code, UKRU, is fictitious.

To see the MiGs in the scenery, you need to have the Deimos MiG-29 (payware aircraft, available from the in-game marketplace) installed. If you don't have the MiG-29, that's okay, just try one of the other versions.

Wow so cool! Im happy to test my mig and later su-27 here! Keep up good work! Love to see more bases around ukraine! My MiG-21 likes this air strip too!
Maybe add in the no mig version a F-18 with Ukrainian livery? That bird could be the replacement in the future air force. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!

Updated with a new Super Hornet version as requested. So now there are 3 versions, one with MiGs, one with Super Hornets, and one with no planes in the parking areas.
