Historical and technical background

PAG plates (ПАГ) were widely used on Soviet Union airfields since the Cold War era, and many of them remain in use in present-day Russia, Ukraine and former Soviet republics. Their characteristic rectangular shape and specific assembly method allowed for quick construction and repair of runways and taxiways. Typical locations for PAG plates included Soviet and Russian air bases, as well as field airstrips used by frontline units during the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and later.
