In October, 2012 Russian blogger Vitaliy Ragulin visited the former S-25/SA-1 Guild base at Elektrostal' outside Moscow, at the invitation of the Russian MoD. This site is now home to the 3rd Surface to Air Missile Battalion of  PVO Unit 61996, 606th Guards Red Banner Regiment, 5th AD Bde, equipped with early variants of the S-400 SAM system.

The imagery is the first available to show the full operation of a 22T6E2 transloader, and is notable by the high image quality produced by the professional Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
