Answer: What is Bagram Airbase mean?

Bagram Airfield-BAF also known as Bagram Air Base (IATA: OAI, ICAO: OAIX) is an Afghan military base, and formerly the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan. It is located next to the ancient city of Bagram, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) southeast of Charikar in the Parwan Province of Afghanistan. It has a single runway capable of handling large military aircraft, including the Lockheed Martin C-5 Galaxy and Antonov An-225. It was staffed by the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing of the U.S. Air Force, along with rotating units of the US and coalition forces.

The ICAO ID is OAIX and it is specifically at 34.944N, 69.259E at 1,492 metres (4,895 ft) above sea level. Bagram's old runway, now decommissioned, was 3,003 metres (9,852 ft) long and the newer runway is 3,602 metres (11,818 ft) long, which was built and completed by the United States in late 2006. There are three large hangars, a control tower, numerous support buildings, and various housing areas. There are also more than 13 hectares (32 acres) of ramp space and five aircraft dispersal areas, with over 110 revetments. Many support buildings and base housing built by the Soviet Armed Forces during their occupation were destroyed by years of fighting between various warring Afghan factions after the Soviets left. The base has been expanded and modernized in recent years. There is also a hospital with 50 beds, three operating theatres and a modern dental clinic. The prison facility was closed by U.S. authorities in 2014.

Kabul International Airport is located approximately 40 km (25 mi) south of Bagram, connected by two separate roads. Also, the Parwan Detention Facility is located adjacent to the base at Bagram. It has been criticized in the past under U.S. operation for its abusive treatment of prisoners. In May 2010, the International Committee of the Red Cross revealed that since August 2009 it was informed about inmates of a second prison where detainees are held in isolation and without access to the International Red Cross that is usually guaranteed to all prisoners; the existence of a second prison was denied by U.S. authorities.

On 15 August 2021, Bagram Air Base fell to the Taliban after a surrender by Afghan Armed Forces. The Taliban does not yet have an air force which can be deployed from Bagram Airfield, although it has captured weaponry from the Afghan Air Force.
