- In today's vlog we explore this abandoned soviet missile base in Turisalu, Estonia. After having walked Tallinn and tried Estonian food in our previous two Estonian vlogs, we wanted to see a different, more historical side of the country.

Exploring an ABANDONED SOVIET MISSILE BASE in ESTONIA 🇪🇪 (Turisalu)
Nice video young couple 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!! :)
The S-200 senite missile divisions stationed in Estonia were established to defend Leningrad (St. Petersburg) against a massive airstrike. The missiles could be armed with a nuclear warhead in addition to a conventional warhead.
Division 1 of the 94th Missile Brigade. Estonia's largest senite missile base, five launch complexes in total. In the area of the launch complexes, there are also earlier military objects - in the northern part the trenches lines and artillery positions of the Türisalu-Naage position of Peeter the Great Sea Fortress, in the southern part the Soviet military airfield. The launch complexes are very well preserved and well viewed in the open, compared to other similar complexes, there is relatively little shrubs. Some buildings have been demolished. The base's campus has been largely demolished.
The campus is located in the immediate vicinity of the launch positions, a few hundred metres away. The campus has had more than 30 buildings - two-storey barracks and staff building, club, canteen, sauna, boiler house, etc. Since the departure of the Russian troops in 1994, the campus has remained unused. Smaller demolition work (recycling of building material) has taken place over a longer period of time. More extensive demolition work began in 2020.

Thank you for sharing!! We could not find like any information on turisalu on the internet so this is super helpful
The old man probably moved there in the soviet times and couldn't tell if you were speaking English or Estonian 😂
Hahahaha probably. Still enjoyed chatting with him even though we couldn’t communicate lol
Estonia is a majority atheist country. This makes Estonians more tolerant and liberal than other Baltic countries (Lithuania and Latvia), which tend to be more conservative.
Thank you! Love learning more about
