Military unit
The 555th Anti-Aircraft Rocket Regiment (Russian: 555-й зенитно-ракетный полк; Military Unit Number 30147)[1] was a surface-to-air missile regiment of the Soviet Air Defense Forces during the Cold War which briefly became part of the Russian Air Defense Forces.
Active from 1960, the regiment provided air defense for the Leningrad area with S-75 and S-200V missiles. It was disbanded in 1995 as a result of the introduction of the more modern S-300PS in the Leningrad air defense system.
