Up until late 2009 it was the home of the
105th Composite Aviation Division and 455th Bomber Aviation Regiment, both with
16th Air Army/
Special Purpose Command, the air forces command of the
Moscow Military District. Following the air force reforms of 2009–10, it became the headquarters of the 7000th Air Base.

Natural Resources Defense Council listed it as a nuclear bomber base in a nuclear war study. However, no other sources on
Long-Range Aviation list it as a bomber base. On 9 November 2020 on the base a private allegedly killed an officer with an axe, used the officer's service pistol to fatally shoot two others and to wound a fourth before being detained. Accounts as to the background and motive include an altercation during an inspection, the suspect being beaten by his superiors and
hazing. == See also ==
