I like the posters on top with US ballistic missiles to help identify whats incoming. Its very difficult to translate as they used their own language to describe foreign names but some that i identified are: SCUD, Polaris, Polaris A3, M-X which is LGM-118 Peacekeeper, Trident 2 Missile, Poseidon C3, Titan 2, Minuteman 2 and 3 which are LGM-30, some kind of DUKE class missile, AN/FPS85 US Radar. All this military tech seems to be going up to year 1987 according to researches.

I visited this place too, very dangerous building to visit. Many holes in the ground. Watch your step.

Looking at the condition of the building I can think of one word…asbestos

Would love to know what it really was, I know they say missile detection etc. But I thought they had satellites for that. Thank you for sharing this gem of a tour! Love Cold War relics, I was 12 in 1986 and terrified of nuclear war.

Satillites was too hard beacuse most rockets failed and lost much of money

So it was better to use it on a over-horizonRadar insted of wasting much money on rockets that most likely failed beacuse their space program wasent the best

@@eliasnikolaivonheimtrondse4424 It has nothing to do with their space program being worse.... the US also uses this sort of Radar. If you have the possibility, why not use it?

@@SteveSmith-wm4qy the *US was using sattilites at the moment but the ussr used over horizon beacuse it was cheaper and most space programs failed and couldnt make it out of the atmosphere so they decided to not waste more money on it beacuse it whould most likely fail

@@eliasnikolaivonheimtrondse4424 most space programs of the USSR definately did not fail. The USSR was the leading power in every part of space exploration apart from the moon landing. They had the first satelite, the first man in space, first spacewalk, first space station and many other achievments. And as i stated earlier, the US also used over the horizon radars, so your conclusion is wrong.

How do you access this place? What city is the closest and where does the access route begin? Does anyone know many of these facilities there are in the former SSSRterritories? Thank you in advance for your replies!

You will need a guide just to make sure you don't fall into the holes in the buildings floor. Very dangerous building, this is.

3:55 This is clearly a didactic room. Were there soviet tourists or school trips admitted there? All the videos serve this radar with the hype of the higher level of secrecy, it was clearly not the case.

Surely not this place was closed for any guests and used only by military.

@@denisdugin8207 you can see this is not the case at 3:55 as this lay out is not for the military, this is for children or teenagers. You don't have didactic rooms like this for mere staff, this room was obviously built for the public.

@@brazilchem Are you sure that was made for children? Looks like the instructions for the training of signal troops soldiers. Remember that the Soviet army was a conscription army and most soldiers were 18-20 years old guys - basically teenagers with no serious education. So in that sense you're right - that room is for children ;)
