Full-Day Missile Base Tour from Kiev
1 day
Full dag
Om denne aktiviteten
It is the year 1971, cold war; The Soviet Union is building strategic missile bases all over the territory of the republics of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. All bases are equipped with dozens of nuclear warheads. Many of these missile troops are still in operation and you will visit the only one which is now opened to the public. The Museum of Strategic Missile Troops, founded in 2001 near the Ukrainian city of Pervomaysk (south of Kiev) is a Missile base completely equipped as if it is in use. The 3 hour excursion around the Missile base makes you think, how close was the world to destroying itself. The Soviet prime minister was able to launch four of the most powerful rockets from the Moscow area by a push of one button. Automatically, missiles from all over the whole USSR could have been launched to the pre-set targets. After the official foreclosure of the 46 Missile Division of Strategic Armed Forces in 1999 the target names were uncovered and now we know that the missiles from this base were aimed at US and Europe strategic objects.
