Dzhida (russian: Джида) is a former military air base of the Russian Air Force in Dzhidinsky District, Republic of Buryatia, Buryatia, Russia. It was located in the town of Dzhida, and featured a large Fighter aircraft, fighter base with small revetment groups scattered around the airfield. Dzhida has been home to: * 2 Gv BAP (2nd Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment) flying Sukhoi Su-24M aircraft (1969 - 2010). * 21 BAP (21st Bomber Aviation Regiment) flying Su-24 (1969 - 1983). The airfield's name has sometimes erroneously appeared as Eleagnus, the Russian form of the Latin name for the plant ''Elaeagnus'', known as ''dzhida'' in Russian. The name Dzhida is not derived from the ''Elaeagnus'' plant, but from the Buryat language, Buryat language term ''ƶede'', meaning copper.
