Formerly Air defence base.
Trials of this long range surface-to-air missile were conducted in 1960-1963 but the project was cancelled after the system failed to down a single target. V-200 missiles were installed in the Dal installations built around Leningrad for the failed missile.
By 1966, the S-200 was officially accepted into service in order to replace the failed anti-ballistic missile RZ-25/5V11 "Dal". The Dal was assigned the NATO reporting name SA-5 "Griffon" before it was cancelled.

Missile:
S-25 (SA-1 Guild)
S-75 (SA-2 Guideline)
S-125 Neva (SA-3 Goa)
S-200 (SA-5 Gammon) is a very long range, some rockets had nuclear head.
