344th Radio-Technical Regiment
Identification
The record most plausibly refers to the 344th Radio-Technical Regiment, military unit 30986, headquartered in the Artyom/Uglovoe garrison in Primorsky Krai. Public registry data places v/ch 30986 in Uglovoe, Artyom; a 2017 procurement entry for the unit used Artyom, ul. Pestelya 33; and Artyom city administration reported a ceremony at v/ch 30986 "Krasnye Kazarmy" on 19 September 2025. ([rusprofile.ru](https://www.rusprofile.ru/id/831169?utm_source=openai))
Mission
Russian local reporting in 2014-2015, citing district press-service and unit command, described the regiment as monitoring airspace on Russia’s Pacific approaches, tracking missile launches in East Asia, conducting radar control of civil and military flights, and passing air-picture information to interceptor and surface-to-air units in Primorye. The same reporting identified the regiment as part of the 93rd Air Defense Division at that time. ([primamedia.ru](https://primamedia.ru/news/332100/?utm_source=openai))
Remote network
Official Primorye tariff rulings from 2015-2016 list unit 30986 consumers/sites at Svetlaya, Timofeyevka, Malaya Kema, Terney, and Chuguevka. Those documents describe a barracks and two positions at Svetlaya, a combat position at Timofeyevka, a complex building including dining facility, club, and staff building at Malaya Kema, a command post at Terney, and a "special object/technical position No. 1" at Chuguevka. This is strong open-source evidence that the regiment operated a dispersed remote-site network beyond the Artyom headquarters. ([primgazeta.ru](https://primgazeta.ru/upload/pdf/56412d396dc4a.pdf))
Current activity
The Artyom garrison remained publicly active as of 19 September 2025, when the city administration reported the unit’s 93rd-anniversary event and the opening of a chapel on the territory of v/ch 30986. A March 2024 Artyom civic event also publicly recognized personnel from v/ch 30986 and sub-element 30986-2, supporting continued local presence of the regiment and at least one numbered subordinate element.

Confidence limits
Publicly traceable sources reviewed for this briefing securely identify the Artyom headquarters and remote localities in Svetlaya, Timofeyevka, Malaya Kema, Terney, and Chuguevka. They do not publicly confirm the regiment’s current radar models, exact manning, or the role of every numbered detachment/placemark in the supplied dataset, so additional placemarks should be treated as unverified unless matched to further documentary evidence.
