Google Earth high-resolution satellite imagery accessed in 2006 showed a rare glimpse of over 40 interceptor aircraft distributed across the airfield on a webwork of interceptor alert pads, much as Soviet PVO bases would have operated during the peak of the Cold War. Although some of the aircraft are probably operational, others are probably simply parked and awaiting depot maintenance at the airfield's Sukhoi facility.
