The Vatla temporary airfield is an approximately 2,500 m long concrete-asphalted strip – a traditional "road-airfield" variant, used as a reserve airfield for the USSR Air Force for rapid mobilization.
This type of facility (in English "highway strip" or "road runway") was widely used in the countries of the USSR bloc.
Vatla is located on the road between Karuse and Kalli.
