Former 7th Anti-Aircraft Missile Battalion of 76th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade, equipped with S-125 Neva (SA-3 Goa). Now working as a museum, with an annexed Paintball and Airsoft ground. Also famous for hosting historical reeanactments such as "Blosdorf 1915" and "Orechov 1945", both held every year.
The photograph dates from 2000, thus the extensive trench system present to the S-W of the base (part of the paintball/airsoft battleground) are absent, as are the various vehicles that make up the museum.
