Former S-75 (SA-2 Guideline) site

Russia / Kaliningrad / Primorsk /
 military, abandoned / shut down, missile launch facility
Each battalion typically had six semi-fixed, single-rail launchers for their V-750 missiles positioned approximately 60-100 meters apart from each other in a hexagonal "flower" pattern with radars and guidance systems placed in the center. It was this unique "flower" shape that led to the sites being easily recognizable in reconnaissance photos. Typically another six missiles were stored on tractor-trailers near the center of the site.
