Air Defence Wing

On July 1, 2023, a new military unit – the Air Defense Division – was created in the air force.

Air Defence Division contributes to ensuring the integrity of the airspace of the Republic of Estonia by planning and executing active air defense operations.

Permanently located in Ämari, the Air Defence Division consists of HQ and two missile batteries.

Air Defence Division will soon use the procured mobile air defense missile systems IRIS-T SLM to prevent air attacks on friendly units, important objects and Estonian residents in the areas where the systems are currently deployed.
