156
This former missile base is situated on state forest land in Piiri on the island of Muhu.
It was completed in 1963. To neighbouring village Liiva the missile base for S-125 system was established at the end of 1960s.
The air defence missile division was designed to defend the western border of the Soviet Union. The division comprised around 16 officers and 60 conscripts. The base had an electric generator, a bunker, a command centre and hangars for S-75 missiles. There was also a separate hangar, presumably for a 3 nuclear warhead missile (probably an OTR-21 Tochka) missiles.
The missile hangars, the garages, the bunkers and the ruins of the command centre and a pillbox with firing holes are what remain of the base today.
