Suislepa Airfield ( also known as Obriku (Russian: Обрику), Mustla, Tõrva, Torva and Torva North) was an air base in Estonia located 15 km north of Tõrva.
In the 1960s, the airfield was mainly used as a front-line maritime bomber airfield. At some point in time, the airfield was completely removed. Remains of taxiways and runways were still visible on satelite images as late as 2006, however.
