Unwanted Atomiс Submarines
The village of Porchinikha was made by soldiers as a base for atomic submarines. It’s the most northern point of the Kola Peninsula on the Barents Sea shore with the road. There are mistakes in maps, soviet cartographers put this road on the map instead of a corvine path. Drive on the off-road? I wouldn’t be that sure.
I found this place long time ago, when discovered a world of geocashing in 2004. One of the virtual caches buried here as well. It’s amazing but since 2003 (the date of the cache burying) no one took it, everyone puzzled: “Is it a foot or a water path?” Everyone saw satellite photos and couldn’t get how it is possible at all to get here without taking off the ground.

Look like this place could make a good scenery for some 3d shooter game…
Inflatable S-300 air defense system
The S-300PMU [SA-10 land-based, SA-N-6 naval version] surface-to-air missile system is able to engage a number of targets simultaneously, countering intensive aircraft raids at low-to-high altitude. The SA-10 offers significant advantages over older strategic surface-to-air missile systems, including multitarget handling and engagement characteristics, a capability against low altitude targets with small radar cross-sections such as cruise missiles, a capability against tactical ballistic missiles, and possibly a potential to intercept some types of strategic ballistic missiles.
It was Russia’s best system in this class. Real threat to enemy planes and ballistic missiles. Costs hundres thousands dollars each.
And now a budget version - inflatable. First check the real thing:
New Russian missile can penetrate through SDI easily.
Russia has successfully test launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from its northern space-vehicle launching site, Plesetsk, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported Aug. 3 The intercontinental Topol class ballistic missile, also known in the West as the CC-25, was launched on Aug. 3 at 1:38 pm Moscow time from a mobile launching installation, sources from the northern cosmodrome told ITAR-TASS.
The aim of the test was to assure that the exploitation period of the missile could be extended, a Russian space forces’ press-service representative told Regions.ru online daily. (more…)
