    A limited OCA strike was conducted on 21 November 1994 in response to Bosnian and/or Krajinan Serb air strikes against targets in the Bihac pocket.

    What does OCA exactly mean?

    Are they storing missiles just like that in a destroyed hangar? No guards? No fence?

    Well the base itself is pretty remote and hard to get to. Due to it being a reserve military airfield and because it was damaged during NATO attacks there are no airplanes permanently on it and therefore the security is rather low.

    Those missiles are very old and not used by the Serbian Air Force any more. They were primarily used by Mig-21s and these now use R-60s and R-73s.

    And what would be a photo of a bunker or a tunnel without a schematic drawing to clear the things up;)

    In this order:

    SSN-2 underground bunker( 1-water tank,2,2a – SSN-2 vehicle area, 3-equipment storage,4,5 – SSN-2 missile storage)

    Coastal battery deployment scheme

    Submarine tunnel schematic

    Ship tunnel schematic (tandem)

    Ship tunnel shematic (in a row)

    Photos 1 and 2 are of tunnels for the mobile SSN-2 launchers. The house represents a ventilation shaft that was camouflaged so it looks like a typical house found on the island (photos 3 and 4)

    Photo 5 shows the underground storage bunker for the mines and torpedoes. Note the tracks on the floor on which these weapons were transported.

    Photo 6 represents the radar shelter,most probably for SNAR-10.

    Last photo is of the enterance to the auxuliary underground command bunker.

    And now the former Naval Fortress on the island of Vis,Crotia. Only recently are tourists allowed to go there. Because the island was virtually isolated for such a long time and its nature still intact,it is a very popular place for holidays these days.

    Photos 1 and 2 represent bunkers for coastal defence cannons.

    Photo 3 represents the rotating base for the coastal cannon and photo 4 shows the structure above the bunker.

    Photo 5 shows the coastal gun bunker that used to house the 90mm Ansaldo cannon and photo 6 the enterance to the same bunker

    7th photo is the command bunker for the coastal gun batteries

    8th photo is inside the boat tunnel and the 9th shows the crew enterance to the same.

    Last photo is of an underground torpedo launcher.

    Naval tunnels on the island of Rab,Croatia.

    Note the door mechanism that would close after the boat(s) would enter the tunnel.As a next step,the camouflage nets would cover the enterance.

    Han Pijesak bunker in Republika Srpska. Interesting fact about this bunker is that from outside one cannot realise that he is standing right on top of a huge underground facility. The enterance to the bunker is trough the huge blast door as seen in the photo which is actually hidden in the garage of the house also showed in one of the photos.

    Udbina AB in Croatia after being abandoned by Serbian forces.

    I am not certain if this base had underground tunnels although you will see in the photos that it had a nuclear shelter(armoured doors,ladders going down,air valve…). The runway got damaged in the 1995 during NATO attacks and was repaired quickly thereafter.
