Coastal Battery Kaarnajoki

Portovoye
Leningradskaja oblast, Russia

This Finnish coastal battery is constructed from 1936 to 1939 and was armed with four vintage 152mm guns. In 1939, the guns proved to be inefficient against Soviet positions during the fighting in the surrounding of the battery. The battery was modernised in 1940.
