Russia has several military bases in foreign countries, especially on the territory of the former Soviet Republics. One of the largest Russian military bases is called the Black Sea Fleet base, which is located in Sevastopol, Ukraine. Other significant bases exist in Armenia, Tadzhikistan, Georgia (In the disputed regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia).

Following the break up of the Soviet Union many of the early warning radar stations ended up in former Soviet republics. Some, such as the radars at Skrunda-1 in Latvia and Dnepr radars in Ukraine are no longer part of the Russian early warning network. Others such as the radars in Azerbaijan, Belarus and Kazakhstan are rented by Russia.
