✈️ Vaziani Military Base

Vaziani Military Base is a major military installation of the Georgian Defence Forces, located near the village of Vaziani, southeast of Tbilisi, in Kvemo Kartli, Georgia. Originally constructed in 1941 as a Soviet Army base, it remained under Russian control until 2001, when it was formally transferred to the Georgian government. Today, Vaziani serves as a key operational, training, and deployment hub for the Eastern Command of the Georgian Land Forces, hosting several major units, including the 4th Mechanized Brigade and the 23rd Infantry Battalion. The base served as a central venue for multinational military exercises, such as Agile Spirit and Noble Partner, before the suspension of Georgia's military ties to Western countries in 2024. Adjacent to the base is the former Vaziani Air Base, a Soviet-era airstrip occasionally used for support operations.
