75th Arsenal JSC
A Thread about what this facility hold has equipment.
Imagery is from June, 14th 2023.
-
First, this facility has been a GRAU (Ministry of Defence Artillery and Missile Directorate) Arsenal.
Sometime after USSR breakup, the facility become a private company known as "75 Arsenal JSC".
This facility has been dealing mainly with Ground Forces Air Defences.
-
That means you won't find any Aerospace Forces equipment here.
This facility is known to be doing extensive repair and maintenance, similar to what can be done in BTRZ for armored vehicles.
Compared to other Arsenals, the facility stores more than half of AD equipment.
-
60% of Ground Forces Air Defence reserve is stored here (574 out of 950).
Almost 200 S-300V vehicles are present at that facility, in fact, more vehicle are actually in reserve than in active service (visible in Red Polygons).

That means that a third of equipment stored here is Long Range Air Defence.
-
Moving to medium Range,
There is a noticeable number (77) of Buk-Mx vehicles around, unfortunately, it is not possible to identify precisely which variant is present, few export vehicle could be noticed (in blue below).

SHORAD, there are a lot of various SHORAD platforms:
Tunguska (light green), Pantsir (dark green), OSA(pink), Strela(blue green), TOR(yellow), even a few Shilkas (black).
This make up about another third (224) of the stored active systems.

To support all of this complex hardware, the base is full of more than 683 various support vehicles (white) and trailers that make possible Air Defence operations.
Command posts, maintenance, testing, smaller radars, etc...

This work took me a while compared to what I've been doing for Tank counting for CBRT's because most of those Systems are complex with various support vehicles to conduct operations.
Here is the detailed breakdown of vehicles in this facility.
-
In the very near future, I'm going to deal with Ground Forces Air Defence equipment in other facilities, namely :
- 8th GRAU Arsenal
- 80th GRAU Arsenal
- 94th GRAU Arsenal
- Arsenal of MU 59313-46.
