History

The 21st Missile Brigade was formed in July 1961 at Oselki, part of the Leningrad Military District. It was composed of the 273rd and 505th Separate Missile Battalions, as well as a technical battery. The brigade was equipped with R-11 Zemlya (SS-1B Scud A) tactical ballistic missiles. In August 1963, the 273rd Separate Missile Battalion was transferred to the 23rd Rocket Brigade and was replaced by the newly activated 312th and 866th Separate Missile Battalions. In December 1992, the brigade was redesignated as the 346th Missile Brigade. It also received newer OTR-21 Tochka tactical ballistic missiles. The brigade was disbanded in 1998.[1]
