    Murmansk Military Objects

    121
    Posted on January 4, 2007 by russia

    Imagine we are foreign intelligence service agents and we spy for Russian military bases. Just a few years ago it was impossible, not to mention how it was impossible during the iron curtain era. But now thanks to google we can see all the top secret Russian objects clearly on those shots.

    Russia still stays very militarized country.

    If to explore with Google earth just a small part of it, the Murmansk region (one of many of Russian regions) which is located next to Norway and Finland, we can meet tens of military objects, mainly Russian Navy ones.

    Here they are:

    murmansk, russia






    All the locations on these shots as have been said are from Murmansk region.

    This one is Olenegorsk, Russian air force base. Those are not just fighters, those are strategic bombers.

    murmansk, russia

    Murmansk itself, abandoned navy ships.

    murmansk, russia

    Murmansk. Nuclear-powered ice-breaker in the dock.

    murmansk, russia

    Kola Bay, near Murmansk, small town “Poliarniy”, oil-tanker “Belokamenka”. One of the largest oil tankers in the world. It is 100 feet tall (as ten stores building).

    murmansk, russia

    It is more than 1000 ft long (340 metres), width 200 ft (65 metres), it transports 4 millions tons of oil each year.

    murmansk, russia

    Severomorsk. Ships of Russian Northern Navy. The sixth from the left is the biggest ship in the Russian Northern Navy – nuclear-powered cruiser “Kirov”.

    Kola Bay. Abandoned ships.

    Russian submarines.

    murmansk, russia

    Different types of Russian submarines.

    murmansk, russia

    Russian S-300 (SA-10) long range surface-to-air missiles. The same ones as Russia now exports to Iran. We had a few months ago an article about an inflatable version of those missiles – the ones that can fool the from-air observer.
    murmansk, russia

    Another abandoned ship near Murmansk.

    murmansk, russia

    More Russian submarines. It is the home base of legendary “Kursk” submarine, the one which got sank a few years ago near Murmansk and whole crew died, because the rescue team has not come in time. Take a not on the submarine to the right – it is split to two parts, probably this is a bug of google photos.

    murmansk, russia

    And even more abandoned Russian Navy ships.

    murmansk, russia

    Some unidentified Navy object a few miles from the shore.

    murmansk, russia

    All the submarines we have seen before were children toys in comparisson with those. Those are sisters of the already mentioned “Kursk” submarine. 500 ft long, 60 ft high. They say it can sweep major USA cities of the ground.

    murmansk, russia

    Those are previously top-secret “Taifun” class submarines. The biggest nuclear-powered submarines in the world. They could carry up to 200 missiles.

    murmansk, russia

    Here are them from a more distant perspective. “Taifuns” from the left and “949A” (“Kursk sisters”) from the left.

    murmansk, russia

    This is the storage for a used nuclear fuel.

    murmansk, russia

    One of these hills is shallow inside. All the rock is taken out and there is an underground submarine base.

    murmansk, russia

    Gremiha. Empty nuclear missiles wells.

    murmansk, russia

    Gremiha. The submarine fueling station.

    murmansk, russia

    An abandoned military base on the island Vitte.

    murmansk, russia

    Gremiha. Under this cape there is another underground submarine base and from these road two tunnels lead inside.

    murmansk, russia

    Kovdor. A hidden mountain.

    murmansk, russia

    Kandalaksha. Military base with launching sites.

    murmansk, russia

    Allakurti. Military base.

    murmansk, russia

    Allakurti, same military base.

    All those shots are from the area not bigger than Vermont state, but so densily populated with military objects. Guess how many more there are across vast Russian Federation.

    Thanks for the descriptive explanations to Makseem Kananenka.

      Interesting, but nothing new really. The objects above are not “secretive”. If they were, we would not be seeing them with Google maps or anything else for that matter ;) .

      It’s too bad there are so many abandoned ships – that’s a lot of metal which could be used for other things…

      I was wondering about the metal too. All of the building growth in China has REALLY driven up the cost of metal. As a result, the metal salvage business has taken off in nearly every country. I would think that one of your politicians would see some opportunity here.

      By the way, that water looks pretty contaminated. I bet there are lots of 3-eyed fish in it.

      The boats lean over once there is not enough water to keep it upright. Like someone else said, metal is supposed to be an expensive commodity, but it may just be too expensive to cut-up the ship and melt it down. Not for too long, though!

        your figures are dead wrong as usual!
        *there was less than 190 Skyraiders in the U.S. inventory during the entire 1960′s. Probably less than 20 planes were lost to hostile actions.
        *count eleven B52 bombers destroyed with a small handfull taken out of service due to damage over N. Vietnam
        *there was maybe five or six A26′s shot down. The rest were culled from service due to age.
        *the A37 dragonfly was also culled from service as well as the B57 canberra due to age
        *but then again you might had added the F105G’s and F105G’s. The “D” model took a large hit over N.Vietnam, but the “G” model was pretty sucessful against Soviet SAM sites.
        *A4′s were one plane that was like a fish out of water over those skys, and were replaced with A6′s (aka “flying dump trucks” due to their bomb loads).
        of all those planes only the F105′s, F4′s and A4′s saw much flying time on N. Vietnam. The B52 flew over N. Vietnam for about two weeks. No F111 was ever shot down, but a few crashed due to problems in the first design of the terrian following radar package.
        Now here’s a thought to ponder upon: The Soviet Union told China and North Korea to quit wasting SAM’s against the SR71′s making daily flights over China and North Korea as they didn’t have any luck shooting one down over Kamchatka as well. The last flight thru there brought a total of 300 SAM’s fired on the SR71 without one even getting close. Can you do anybetter now? Don’t bet the farm on it!

      Max, I don’t know what you are trying to say. I know you have a little mind, so try to give me some facts. Sure, you can bring up the twin towers in New York and then I can bring up the Nord Ost theatre siege.

      guys, these wars you are talking about and making a sample of were/are fueled by money and areas of influence. And when you see an invading country is backing out, its probably because the enemy of the invading country supplied means to deploy a very unfair kind of guerilla fight in country of invasion (afganistan, vietnam, iraq, chechnya, bosnia, etc etc etc), the kind that does not respect any sort of international war convention. not to mention the use of a media as a propaganda tool.
      it is absolutely incorrect to compare wars that were done in past history to current and recent wars, because now we live in a special age of international super powers, media and well-developed tools for manipulating society will exist…

      but like someone said, if superpowers were to conduct war the way it was done before the mass media, the guerilla wars would be over very soon due to the immence amount of violence unlieshed on the invadees. in other words: bloody, but quick.

      I’m not sure if that would be the best way to win. If our military planners had read Sun Tzu, then things would have been done much differently. For example, we could have ensured a strong embargo with our weaponry. Basically bombing anything that enters and leaves. The goal would be the complete breakdown of society. Hopefully, losses would be kept to a minimum. The warring factions would basically fall apart due to starvation and desperation. We would wait till things were at the absolute worst and demand a roundup of weaponry, explosives, etc. Then we would come into the country with food, water, gifts, money, construction equipment and jobs. We would command control from their palaces, with weaponry and the people would listen because we have what they need.

      To get the discussion back on track, various countries in the South Asia region are involved in shipbreaking as this Greenpeace site shows. One article on how an asbestos-laden ship was not allowed to be broken up in India suggests that some of the ships lying on their side might contain dangerous contaminants that would stop anyone from going near those ships, let alone salvage them for their metal.

      You mean to a poor country like Russia? The reason they are left there like that is that their owners, or the military did not have the financial resources to maintain them or dispose of them properly.

      “Texas1, it’s very unwise to associate Islam with terrorism”

      Are you kidding Steelbud? To not associate Islam with terrorism at this time is to ignore the obvious. Islam as a religion may not be responsible for individual’s actions but, clearly something about the faith is currently associated with the violent actions of so many of its followers. To not associate Islam with terrorism would be like not associating Christianity with the Crusades. The sooner people accept there is an issue the sooner they can make a change to fix the problem.

      the kursk sank because the soviets used a chemical propulsion system in thir torpedos that mixes two chemicals to create a ga stream which is forced through a small turbine,hydrogen peroxide i think. this setepis simple but its irreversible-u cant stop one once it starts.the britsh also used this syetem but had some fatal accidents when the chemicals accidentally combined,i know theu sank at least one sub. the brits “hydrophones” reported the sound of a torpedo explosion when the kursk sank.the story is that the chemicals are corrosive,and damage their own feed lines and tanks inside the torpedo itself-they mix and cause the casing to explode,invisible and fatal to the sub. im sorry those submariners were killed,that service is for brave people,and that includes russians……….

      I live right on the edge of a big city where the farm land starts. I don’t own a big house or anything, but instead live in a 1500 sq. ft. condo. Nothing special, but it’s all mine. There are hundreds of farms of all sizes around here, and I think you need to come over here for an extended visit. I will take you out in the country side to see hundreds of these folks that are not living very good. They’ll invite you in for a steak and a tour of their farms. Maybe even let you drive their John Deer four wheel drive tractors (it’s time to start plowing you know). I’ll even take you fishing, and we can go uptown to listen to some quality old school jazz. Hell you might even meet a pretty woman over here. At my house I’ve been known to grill a pretty good steak, and in another month we can go watch race cars all day long.
      I’ll even take you up into some of the areas you speak of that live worse than where your at. We can have barbeque till your stomach bursts! Maybe even attend a couple jazz festevals. How about an anti government politcal rally? Even that’s OK here. You’ll never have to look over your shoulder over here. So when can I expect you?

        Hey Have just read a few entries there, WTF? All yous guys do feel very passionate about your countries!
        Being from the UK (Northern Ireland) there is clearly 1 thing that The russians and a large part of western europe forget. In both world wars and even more in the second the US saved our asses, Imagine going to france and it being a faciast republic? As the germans hated communists there would have been no USSR and probably none of the american hating people on this website.
        Talking about the “Proxy Wars” nearly all the wars have involved a superpower. To counter agression from the USSR the USA pumped vast amounts of money, weapons etc so the mujahadeen could fight the soviets, evidently they trained them too much as it is proving very hard to defeat the mujahadeen/taleban there.
        In vietnam/korea russia and then ally china done the same against the US, sounds very familar doesnt it.
        In iraq and afganistan syria and iran are doing the exact same! However now that the US military has taken to paying local militias to fight calm is slowly being restored.
        Every nation is the same in that it only suits its own means and the sooner people realise that the better. No nation is pure white but I do believe the US & Russia get a very rough press and anyone who gloats about war and death must think what it must be like being in a war theatre, reckon a few people here would change their mind….

      Since metal salvaging is taking off due to China buying up so much regular use metal & the world’ desire to recycle & reuse, why don’t the Russians (either by their own construction barges or through outside cooperation) drag those wrecks & capsizes onto the shore to cut them up & reutilize all of the metal, wood, wires, & innards etc.?
      Every part of a wreck is usable.
      Heck, I’d do it w/ some help. I’d get a crew together & slowly pull 1 visible wreck out of the harbor after another.
      Shoot, I’d probably be able add onto a vessel from one of the wrecks.
      The metals not used could bring a nice price?
      I may not even sell the metals or the part for that matter.
      Simply cut them up & sand blast them nice & new. Then, use the sheets as outer layering for rooftops or even new hull material.
      Anyone w/ me?

      The Americans decided to join when provoked, who’s to say that unless Pearl Harbour happened you’d have even joined the war… who’s to say the Americanc wouldnt have deserted the French, Brits etc

      ohh and where was America when Russia walzed into Georgia last year? You couldn’t intervene, because even now your scared of what the repercussions could be… Russia’s nuclear stockpiles give the American Regime nightmares, doesn’t it.
