Pillbox 186

Castle / fortress

The long-term firing point No. 186 (Pillbox 186) in Chabany was built in 1930 and is one of the 250 fortification structures of the Kyiv Fortified District (KiUR), covering Kyiv from the southwest in a semi-ring 85 kilometers long.

The 1.5-meter-thick walls are designed for a direct hit by a 203-millimeter projectile. Pillbox is single-story, has 4 embrasures and an additional embrasure of the rear firing. There were 4 machine guns "Maxim" and one manual DP. Ammunition - 90,000 rounds of caliber 7.62. The type of masking is an economic building.

In 1941, Pillbox 186 was part of the "Crimea" base. Garrison - 10-15 people (surnames of fighters are unknown).

Currently, the International Association of Fortification Researchers "Citadel" has created a museum on the basis of Pillbox 186. Part of the equipment has been restored, in particular one of the casemate machine guns.
