Pugachyov (also Pugachyov Southeast) is an air base in Saratov Oblast, Russia located 2 km north of Pugachyov. It is a minor but well-maintained military airfield.

Under the Soviet Union it was a civilian airfield.[1]

Until October 2011 it was the base of the Russian 626th helicopter regiment.[2][failed verification]

The base is home to the 626th Training Helicopter Regiment as part of the Zhukovsky – Gagarin Air Force Academy.[3]
