      • The armoured “Izhora Tower” firing point was built for a Maxim machine gun; such turrets were made at the Izhora Works.
      • The turret’s armour is about 30 mm thick.
      • Next to it is single-embrasure artillery pillbox No. 117, built for a 76-mm L-17 gun.
      • Both are part of the Izhora Line, which covered the city’s southwest in 1941–1944.
