Vetrovoye is a former Soviet Naval air base on Iturup, Russia located 66 km northeast of Burevestnik. The airfield was built in the early or mid-1960s, following a directive by Defense Minister Rodion Malinovsky that every American aircraft carrier between Midway Island and the Kuril Ridge be photographed by Soviet Tupolev Tu-16R reconnaissance aircraft.
