A former Nike missile site located near Çanakkale, Turkey, this military installation was part of the U.S. Cold War-era defense network deployed to protect strategic locations from potential Soviet air attacks. The site features clearly visible missile launch structures and associated facilities, typical of the Nike Ajax and later Nike Hercules systems deployed across NATO countries during the 1950s and 1960s.
These installations formed an integral part of Turkey's integrated air defense system during the Cold War period.
