Geschichte
Mežaine, officially Military training area Mežaine, is a Latvian National Armed Forces military training area of the 4th Brigade of the Latvian National Guard in Raņķi Parish, Kuldīga Municipality near the town of Skrunda. The military training area consists of a former ghost town, variously known as Skrunda-1, Skrunda-2, Lokators or Līdumnieki, and the surrounding area. The ghost town was built in the 1960s to house Soviet military personnel serving at two Soviet Dnepr radar installations at the site. Following the Soviet collapse in 1991, the Russian military continued to operate the site until it withdrew completely from Latvia in 1998; the radar stations were torn down, the buildings were abandoned, and the site is now reserved by the Latvian government for use in urban warfare training.
