102nd Separate Operational Purpose Brigade
Identity
The strongest open-source match is Rosgvardiya military unit 6752 in Makhachkala, publicly identified as the 102nd Separate Operational Purpose Brigade. Official Russian aviation-restriction contacts list v/ch 6752 at ul. A. Nevskogo 6, Makhachkala, and a March 24, 2023 Dagestan decree describes servicemembers of v/ch 6752 as belonging to the North-Caucasian District of the National Guard.

Verified footprint
Official restricted-flight contact lists place v/ch 6688 at ul. Rozhdestvenskogo 12, Astrakhan, and v/ch 5389 at ul. Makhachkalinskaya 63, Kizlyar. Public unit lists and reporting associate those two unit numbers with the 375th and 376th separate operational-purpose battalions respectively; that is consistent with the supplied placemarks, but the battalion names were not confirmed from official Rosgvardiya pages in this review.

Operational role
At a March 2023 ceremony held at v/ch 6752, Dagestan officials and the brigade commander publicly described the formation as guarding military, important state, and special facilities and carrying out public-security tasks in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and the Donetsk area. That indicates the brigade was being used for rear-area security/protection missions and for deployment outside Dagestan as of March 2023.

Infrastructure
Dagestan power-grid planning documents approved in 2022-2023 include new 110-kV infrastructure for a "complex of buildings of the military town of v/ch 6752" in Karabudakhkent district, including the planned "Zvezda" substation and new feeder lines. This points to substantial fixed infrastructure associated with the brigade outside the urban Makhachkala headquarters, although the exact military function of that site is not publicly specified.

Confidence note
The brigade headquarters identity is strong, and the Astrakhan and Kizlyar subordinate locations are well supported at the unit-number level. I did not find authoritative public material that cleanly ties the metadata's "Skif" / v/ch 6760 reference to this brigade; a published court record places v/ch 6760 in a Rostov-region internal-troops context around 2000-2001, so that placemark should be treated as unconfirmed for this briefing.
