In 1968, Jeljava airbase was completely ready and started functioning. The Geljava airbase, which cost £4.7 billion, was designed and strengthened to withstand a 20 kiloton atomic bomb, larger than the one dropped by the US on Hiroshima in 1945.
Size and Features
The airbase was a marvel of military engineering at the time of its construction, with its own power, air purification and ventilation systems that provided a large Was spread in the area. There is a network of underground tunnels spread in it. Housing aircraft and ammunition depots and other military infrastructure were built.

About 60 MiG-21 aircraft could be kept in Jeljava airbase. In this, the main galleries are made in M shape, whose height is measured up to 12 meters and width up to 16 meters, whose gates have 100 tonne concrete doors to avoid nuclear, biological and chemical attacks. Were designed.
When was this airbase destroyed?
In the 1990s, the airbase was damaged by powerful explosives during the wars that followed the dissolution of Yugoslavia. On May 16, 1992, the Yugoslavian army retreated from this airbase, after which it fell into the hands of the enemies and then they destroyed it with 56 tons of explosives.
