Bezrechnaya-2 (also given variously as Bezrechnaya, Bezrechnoy, Khodabulak, Khada Bulak North, or Mirnaya) was an interceptor aircraft base in Chita Oblast, Russia. It featured a linear ramp.
It was located 28 miles (45 km) north of Borzya and 7.4 miles (11.9 km) east of Mirnaya.
The base has been home to:
- 22 IAP (22nd Fighter Aviation Regiment) flying Sukhoi Su-15TM aircraft from 1971 to 1992. The regiment was subordinate to 50th Guards Air Defence Corps of the 14th Air Defence Army from 1988 to 1992.[1]
- OSAZ (unidentified) (Independent Composite Aviation Regiment) flying Su-15TM.[2] This may be an erroneous identification of 22 IAP listed above.
