Konotop (ICAO: UKBF) is an air base in Ukraine located 4 km west of Konotop. It is a training base. During the end of the Cold War years, it was home to 105 UAP (105th Aviation Training Regiment) flying 101 Aero L-39 training jets.
Many helicopters and jet trainers are parked on a grassy area, and appear unused.
The base became a part of the territory taken in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is uncertain whether the base is in use, being approximately 25 km from the frontline.
