342nd Radio-Technical Regiment
Identification
Open sources support identifying military unit 75313 as the 342nd Radio-Technical Regiment in Chita. A 2019 force-structure review of Russia’s 11th Air Force and Air Defense Army lists 342-й ртп, 75313, Чита, and standard historical order-of-battle references trace the regiment to the Chita-based 69th Radio-Technical Brigade, redesignated in 2009.

Command chain
The same 2019 review places the regiment under the 26th Air Defense Division in Chita, within the 11th Air Force and Air Defense Army. I did not find a newer official Russian publication that publicly re-confirms that exact divisional chain after 2019, so the 26th-division assignment should be treated as the last clearly corroborated open-source placement rather than a freshly published official status for March 2026. ([cacds.org.ua](https://cacds.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/%D0%92%D0%98%D0%9A%D0%9B%D0%98%D0%9A%D0%98-%D1%96-%D0%A0%D0%98%D0%97%D0%98%D0%9A%D0%98-%D0%91%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B9-%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%B4-%D0%A6%D0%94%D0%90%D0%9A%D0%A0-%E2%84%96-16-127.pdf))
Chita footprint
Public records independently place v/ch 75313 in Chita. Central Election Commission-backed candidate records list civilian employees of v/ch 75313 in Chita in 2013-2018, and an archived registry entry for the unit’s trade-union organization gives 56 Krasnoarmeyskaya Street, Chita, consistent with the supplied HQ placemark area.

Dispersed sites
Open sources also indicate the regiment is dispersed beyond Chita. A publicly available Mogocha airfield description states that an RTV company from v/ch 75313 is located on the airfield’s southern edge, suggesting a distributed radar-post structure rather than a single-site garrison. I did not find open-source confirmation for each of the other individual placemarks supplied here.

Equipment and activity
In April 2021, Conflict Intelligence Team identified a Kasta-2-2 radar on a military train moving from Domna, Zabaykalsky Krai, to Crimea and assessed it as equipment of the 342nd regiment because it was the only radio-technical regiment based in Zabaykalia. Rosoboronexport describes the related Kasta-2E2/39N6E family as a mobile low-altitude 3D radar for detecting low-flying aircraft, UAVs, and cruise-missile-type targets. This does not establish the regiment’s full inventory, but it does publicly corroborate at least one deployable low-altitude radar asset associated with the unit in 2021.
