The 219th Anti-Aircraft Rocket Regiment (Russian: 219-й зенитно-ракетный полк; Military Unit Number 06534)[1] was a surface-to-air missile regiment of the Soviet Air Defense Forces during the Cold War and briefly the Russian Air Defense Forces.
Active from 1963, the regiment provided air defense for the Leningrad area with S-200V missiles. It was disbanded in 1993 as a result of the introduction of the more modern S-300PS in the Leningrad air defense system.
