An interesting detail that could have been on the map.

 

The BARS system (from the Russian word “Leopard”) was a military tropospheric communication system of the Warsaw Pact countries, it was put into service in December 1987, It included 26 hubs (in 29 directions) in the USSR, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria.

Most of the BARS system links used R-417 Baget-S equipment, which operated at 4.435-4.555 GHz and 4.630-4.750 GHz (S-band), transmitting power could reach 1.5 kW - 2.5 kW. The system provided 60 digital voice channels or a data throughput of 480 kbit/s.

The maximum length of a single R-417 link was 200 km.

Two BARS system links whose distance exceeded 200 km used R-420S equipment, which had parabolic antennas with a diameter of 16 meters.

BARS communications support systems were autonomous: they had food and water supplies, generators, air filters and oxygen supplies.

Dębica Airfield - an airport used until the mid-1980s (?) by the Soviet Air Force. It was probably an alternate airport for aircraft such as MiG-15, MiG-17 and MiG-21. The airport had a grass runway 11/29 with a length of 2,500 m. 20 kilometers from the airport in Dębica is the airport in Świdwin. Currently, there is a garbage dump on the site of the former airport.

Pieniężnica
 

"The Pieniężnica Airfield was established in the mid-1950s as a typical backup airport for combat regiments of the Polish Army. The layout of the airfield was typical for airports of that period. The runway was 1,900 m long and 40 m wide, with a concrete surface. The runway was located in the 084/264 direction, i.e. almost east-west. On the south side of the runway, an emergency runway with a dirt surface (grass) was marked out. On the north side of the runway, the main taxiway, approximately 2,000 m long, was located. The main taxiway was connected to the runway by four connectors. The width of the taxiways was 10-15 m. All taxiways had a concrete surface. At the eastern and western connectors, there were aircraft parking areas, also with a concrete surface.

The airport had two combat aircraft dispersal areas. One was in the eastern part of the airport (among trees) and the other in the western part. At the beginning of the 1970s, 10 AU-11 class shelters/hangars were built in the western dispersal area for Mikoyan and Gurievich MiG-21 aircraft.

The Pieniężnica airport was surrounded by forests on all sides. In the north-eastern part, an MPS (fuel and lubricant storage facility, fully equipped) and airport administration and barracks buildings were located in the forest. In the north-western part, a bomb storage facility (weapons warehouse for aircraft) was located in the forest.

The Pieniężnica airport did not have a permanent host. Regiments such as the 6th PLM from Piła, the 26th PLM from Zegrze Pomorskie, the 28th PLM from Słupsk, the 41st PLM from Malbork, and others were temporarily based here. The following aircraft landed at the airport: MiG-21, MiG-23, TS-8 Bies, TS-11 Iskra.

By the end of the 1980s, the airport was underfunded and fell into disrepair. At that time, there was already a surplus of military airports in relation to the needs. Since the 1990s, planes have landed here sporadically. Probably the last landing of a civilian aircraft took place in 2004. At that time, a Cessna 172 aircraft made an emergency landing. At that time, only the eastern part of the RWY, 1,000 m long, was suitable for landing."
