It has become known that the Russian Ministry of Defence has deployed three secret military bases. They are located in strategically important regions, but their purpose remains unknown even to experts.
Location of new bases
Three new military facilities were deployed in areas of particular strategic importance. The first facility is located at a former nuclear weapons storage base in occupied Crimea. The second is at a test site in the Arkhangelsk region, where a nuclear-powered Burevestnik missile is being tested. The third is at an abandoned tank firing range in Ladoga.
The choice of these particular locations may indicate the importance of the facilities for the Russian military. However, there is no official information on their purpose.
Design features of the facilities
Each of the new bases is equipped with inflatable arched hangars. All the complexes have their own security perimeter, which consists of two rows of fence. In addition, the facilities are equipped with powerful lightning protection systems.
This may indicate the presence of sensitive equipment or machinery, but there is no confirmation of this.
Expert reaction
Experts who analysed satellite images and open data were unable to draw conclusions about the purpose of the new bases. The lack of characteristic features makes it difficult to identify their functions.
It remains to be seen whether these objects are connected to nuclear weapons, The Russian Federation has been involved in the development of new missiles and other military developments.
Unprecedented level of secrecy
All three facilities are united by a high level of secrecy and isolation. The absence of official comments from the Russian Ministry of Defence only increases interest in these bases.
According to open sources, such infrastructure has not been recorded in these areas before. Experts continue to monitor the situation.
