Krivoi Rog Air Base is not widely documented in reliable, verifiable sources. The name suggests it would be an airfield associated with the city of Krivyi Rog (also spelled Kryvyi Rih), a major industrial center in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast of central Ukraine.
The term “Krivoi Rog” (Ukrainian: Кривий Ріг; Russian: Кривой Рог) literally translates to “crooked horn,” referring historically to a bend in the local river. In the context of an “air base,” the phrase would imply a military or civilian aviation facility located in the vicinity of that city.
No authoritative encyclopedic entries, official military publications, or internationally recognized aviation databases provide detailed information about the existence, operational status, runway specifications, affiliated units, or historical events related to a Krivoi Rog Air Base. Consequently, any assertions regarding its function, history, or current use would be speculative.
Further research in specialized Ukrainian military archives, local government records, or authoritative aviation directories would be required to confirm whether such a facility exists or existed, and to detail its characteristics. Until such sources are identified, the term remains insufficiently documented for an encyclopedic entry.
