Upyna air field is an abandoned airfield 220kilometers (135miles) west-northwest of Vilnius.
The airfield was built by the Soviet Union in the 1975-1985 timeframe.
It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot.
It consisted of a small runway, a parallel taxiway and a small platform to the northwest of the runway.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located


From what can be gathered from Google Earth the runway appears to be in a fair condition.
There is a building adjacent to the small platform.
The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
