The Õhutõrjedivision, (English: Air-Defence Division) listen is the name of the Estonian Defence Forces air-defence artillery force which has a supportive military formation role among the Estonian Grond Forces. Other units might have a anti-aircraft missile component, but the Air-Defence Division is a unit dedicated to air-defence and relying on other units for infantry support, especially when defending. The main task of this formation is to provide air-defence protection and light gun support for the infantry brigades operating on the battlefield.
