This command bunker is located next to the highway. Due to its location it was not damaged during the hostilities, but it was more than sufficiently destroyed after the Winter War. Explosion in the eastern part of the bunker tore the roof off and it landed on the western part of the bunker. The small plate above the entrance to the western part of the bunker explains that HQ of the 2nd Battlaion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 5th Divison, was stationed inside the bunker during the Winter War.

This picture of Sk16, camouflaged with net and pine tree branches, was taken on December 14, 1939. Standing in front of the bunker are the bunker personnel and service dogs.
Another, somewhat blur picture of Sk16 is here. If you are driving on the old Viipuri highway, you will not miss the fortification - it is in just 30 meters from the road and is always easily seen.
