The Object-100 (Oбъект 100) is a Russian Navy coastal defense underground complex armed with anti-ship missiles built in 1954 by the Soviet Union to protect Sevastopol and surrounding maritime approaches. It was modernized several times over the years before being abandoned after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Following the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation it was reactivated in 2016, being mostly used for training purposes, though it reportedly was used to launch attacks on Ukrainian ground targets during the Russo-Ukrainian War.
