568th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment
Identification
Open-source order-of-battle studies identify military unit 28042 as the Samara-based 568th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment. A CDACR study placed it in the 76th Air Defense Division of the 14th Air and Air Defense Army, and TASS reported on 14 June 2024 that the regiment held the Guards honorific and retained the Red Banner title.

Headquarters
Public registry mirrors list the legal record for military unit 28042 at 94 Eroshevskogo Street, Samara. Separate Samara reporting says the headquarters of the 76th Air Defense Division was at the same address, so the HQ placemark is consistent with a larger divisional military compound rather than a stand-alone regimental site; the regiment’s exact building allocation inside the compound is not publicly confirmed.

Firing positions
NightWatch’s geospatial entry for the regiment shows one HQ placemark and two separate S-300PS placemarks for unit 28042. That dispersal pattern is broadly consistent with the 2019 CDACR assessment of the regiment at two S-300PS battalions and 16 launchers in 2018, but I did not find more authoritative public records that independently confirm the exact coordinates of the two outlying firing positions.

Equipment
The best-supported equipment attribution for this location remains S-300PS. CDACR assessed the regiment with S-300PS in both 2015 and 2018, shrinking from three battalions and 36 launchers to two battalions and 16 launchers by 2018; the geospatial OSINT entry reviewed for this brief also still labels the regiment’s outlying sites as S-300PS.

Recent status
Recent open sources indicate the unit number remains publicly active in the Samara garrison. An official CSKA report from a Samara-based military-applied sports championship in 2025 listed participants from military unit 28042, after TASS had reported the regiment’s Guards designation in June 2024.
