Finland during the Cold War has integrated larger and reinforced strips called “maantietukikohta” in its national network of highways with adjacent parking/servicing space and lighting.

They noticeable as the road expands into wider and multilane and the area is left free of obstacles. Mobile logistics to support air operations are also organised in case of these redeployments Low population density and dense forests good for camouflage help in making this an efficient possibility as opposed to other western countries.

This “road airports” serve as a way to disperse the fighter jets to be less vulnerable to conventional and nuclear attacks and so still able to support an eventual “sissi”, or guerrilla warfare, of which the Finnish became famous in WW2 for repelling both the Soviet invasion from east and the german one from northern Norway.

Is “dissolvement” a word?

Look at the areas where major wars or terrorist actions are happening right now. The ones with blatant air power as a factor.

How many of them have more than one airfield capable of fielding fighter aircraft? How many have airfields that are over the horizon from lightly defended borders, or otherwise difficult to spot?

I acknowledge that I’m not a pilot, but Afghanistan isn’t known for it’s numerous high-quality airfields.

Using a freeway/highway as an impromptu airstrip? Smart forward thinking for any first-world military. I wonder how many of these miniature airbases we would find in the USA if we actively looked for them during our vacation road trips.
