SAM Missile base, Sevastopol, Ukraine - Military Installations on Waymarking.com

To be honest, I don't know if this site used to be a SAM base. But accordingly to my observation and experience, I am almost sure. The underground bunkers are just like the storage spaces I observed in other places of the same kind, namely in Czech Republic, and I could see two platforms which would be perfect for parking mobile SAM launchers and supporting equipment.

Then, of course, there is a number of assorted buildings and smaller bunkers, perfectly suitable for accommodation of garrison, command office and so on. Sadly most of the structures are strongly damaged and defaced by graffiti. Not specially exciting for me, as I am so familiar with these small Soviet made facilities, but for the newcomer it might be of some interest.

Still about the possibility of the place being a SAM base, it just makes sense. A place like Sevastopol should be protected by any air attack, and this place has the perfect location to cover, at least partially, the approach route to Sevastopol.

It's not hard to find the way there. It will involved some driving in dirt roads, but a normal car should be able to make it.
