Hvardiiske airbase
Next to the town is an airbase formerly under the jurisdiction of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, now controlled by the Russian Air Force, Gvardeyskoye (air base).
In June 1990, the 43rd independent Naval Assault Aviation Regiment arrived at the airbase from Choibalsan in Mongolia.[3] In February and March 2014, Russia annexed Crimea. On 1 July 2014, the regiment moved to Saky (air base) also in the Crimea.
On August 16, 2022, the airbase was hit by an explosion, and Russian occupation authorities said they were investigating a drone attack on an ammunition depot.[4]
