| Russia builds doomsday nuclear bunker in remote mountain to launch strikes against West |
| 2026-09-28 |
| [DM] Putin has resurrected a sinister Cold War nuclear system designed to ensure Russia can unleash a retaliatory strike even if a devastating attack wipes out its leadership. Hidden beneath a remote mountain in the Ural wilderness in central Russia, a vast underground command centre has been massively expanded in what appears to be a revival of the Soviet Union's notorious 'Dead Hand' nuclear strategy. The bunker, known as Facility 1335, lies near the tiny village of Kytlym, where soldiers now guard a heavily fortified military complex - hundreds of miles from any city and surrounded by impassable terrain. The site is part of Russia's 'Perimeter' system - known in the West as Dead Hand - which was designed to preserve the country's ability to retaliate against an enemy even after a catastrophic attack had severed communications with its leadership. After such an attack, Facility 1335 would transmit radio signals to mobile missile launchers and any other surviving launch silos to retaliate in full force. Satellite images, construction documents and photographs posted online by Russian soldiers reveal the extraordinary scale of the project. And experts say the renewed investment suggests the Kremlin is once again placing enormous importance on ensuring its nuclear command infrastructure can survive a major attack. Facility 1335 itself is designed to withstand American bunker-busting bombs. |
