Pechora Kamenka (also Kamenka or Berezovka) is a former air base in Komi Republic, Russia located 27 km west of Pechora. It was a medium-size bomber base, with about 12 hardstands and small tarmacs.

In 1989, the 144th independent Aviation Regiment for Long-Range Radar Detection (144 OAPDRLO) which operated the Beriev A-50 Airborne Early Warning aircraft arrived from Šiauliai in Lithuania. It stayed until November 1998 when it was moved to Ivanovo Severny and redesignated the 2457th Aviation Base.
