Sharomy (Russian: Шаромы) (also referred to as Sheromy) is a military air base in Kamchatka Krai, Russia located about 143 km north of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Very little is known about this base, but it may be inferred that it serves a dual role. The most likely possibility is that it serves as a weather or traffic diversion airfield for Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Airport. The other possible role is that of an alternate staging base for North American strike missions, as 3500-meter runway lengths are not found in Soviet construction except in hot climates and where long-range bombers operate. Sharomy contains hardstands for 12 bombers and 3 fighters.
