Looking for any information on soviet airbase units during the CW (1980-1990) Baltic region , What type of air def did they have at the airbases. I can only assume they had a number of ZU-23-2 / S-60's but does anyone know what type of radars they would have used and is there any OBB of the Base units.

Cheers

maybe this will also help (in spite of many censors).

I had got some info from Sowjetische Fliegerkrafte Deutschland 1945 1994 (book 3 and 4) but still looking for the full OOB of a Soviet Air Base Regiment

Found this in Gliederung und Stationierung der sowjetischen Streitkräfte in Deutschland im Jahre 1988

Die 16. Garde-Jagdfliegerdivision bildet ab 1989 die „BesoŶdere GruppieruŶg zur LuftǀerteidiguŶg des Ostseerauŵes“ unter operativer Führung des Chef Luftverteidigung im Oberkommando der GSSD. Dazu werden ihr die 40. Funktechnische Brigade u. die 157. Fla-Raketenbrigade mit 3 Fla-Raketenabteilungen operativ unterstellt

So it seems that each air base in East Germany had approx 1 mixed Air Def Bn allocated for its local defense. I will go with that for now.

Cheers

Status: offline 		Keep please in mind that Soviet Air Defence was always - a system. This means that every facility, object, army structure etc. are covered with a system of vary-range air defense arms. So you could consider 1-2 9K37 Buk (SA-11 dbid #428) battery supplemented with 9S18M1 Radar (#1313), 4-6 9K33M3 Osa-AKM (SA-8b #1646) supplemented with P-40 (#270), PRV-16 (#1658), P-19 (#1656) and 4-6 9K22 Tunguska (SA-19 #74) supplemented with 9S80 (#1257). Some supplementing facilities especially long-range you can place far from defending object because they are part of regiments, while we operate here with battalions.
