Закрытые капониры.
Locked caponiers.
The Russians use the word caponier which derives
from the French language. It literally means a
fortress like structure, which is a good way to
describe a hardened lockable hangarette. I use
the term hangarette to indicate a small
1 aircraft shelter rather than hangar which
usually can hold more than one plane, except
really large ones.
