26th Air Defense

The 26th Air Defense unit was originally activated during the Cold War era to provide critical air defense coverage for key strategic locations. Tasked with operating advanced radar and missile systems, the unit played a vital role in detecting and intercepting potential aerial threats. Over the years, the 26th Air Defense adapted to evolving technologies, integrating new surface-to-air missile platforms and command systems. Today, the unit remains an essential component of national defense, maintaining readiness to protect airspace against modern airborne threats.
