👉 Kandahar–Herat Highway in the context of Shindand Air Base

Shindand Air Base (IATA: OAH, ICAO: OASD) is an Afghan air base located in the western part of Afghanistan in the Shindand District of Herat Province, seven miles (11 km) northeast of the city of Shindand. The runway has a concrete surface. An all-weather asphalt road connects it with the Kandahar–Herat Highway, part of Highway 1 (the national ring road). The base is of great strategic importance because it is just 75 miles (121 km) from the border of Iran. It is capable of housing over one hundred military aircraft.

It was one of the largest Afghan Air Force bases.
