A [[Air base|military airfield]] in [[Belbek]], a village near [[Sevastopol]], [[Crimea]], was also used for [[civil aviation]], named '''Sevastopol International Airport Belbek'''{{efn|{{lang-crh|Belbek Halqara Ava Limanı}}, {{lang-uk|Міжнародний аеропорт Севастополь "Бельбек"}}, {{lang-ru|Аэропорт Бельбек}}}} {{airport codes|UKS|UKFB}}, for six years from 2002 to 2007 under Ukrainian administration.
 
Since 2014, following the start of the [[Russo-Ukrainian War]] and the [[reunificationannexation of Crimea withby the Russian Federation]], the base has been operated by the [[Ministry of Defence (Russia)|Russian Ministry of Defence]]. In 2017 plans were published under Russian administration to restore the airfield into an [[international airport]] by 2020, but this did not happen.
 
The base was home to the [[38th Fighter Aviation Regiment]] which flies the [[Sukhoi Su-27]] and [[Sukhoi Su-30]] under the [[27th Composite Aviation Division]] part of the [[4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scramble.nl/planning/orbats/russian-federation/russian-federation-aerospace-forces#UKFB499|title=Sevastopol'/Bel'bek' (UKFB)|publisher=Scramble.nl|access-date=17 November 2022}}</ref> After a series of explosions, the unit was withdrawn from the airport at the end of 2022
