An Underground Air Base Hid 60 Fighter Jets - Abandoned Željava
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- The Željava Air Base was a Yugoslav aerodrome that kept 1000 soliders and 60 fighter jets safe in the event a nuclear war broke out with the Soviet Union. Two miles of taxiways and four entrances to the underground air base still lead adventurous urban explorers deep into the bowels of a mountain that once kept Yugolsavia ready for war.

Great video!
I grew up in Kaštell Stari south of Trogir on the Croatian coast. There was a smaller version of Željava attached to Split airport.
My grandfather would take me on long walk and we would often end up at the airport. He was a fighter pilot in WW2 on the partisan side. He had to stop flying due to injuries but many of his old friends were officers in the Yugoslav airforce. One of my favourite memories was being scooped up by one of his friends and place into the cockpit of a Mig 21.
We used to watch them takeoff and land for hours. Good times in bad times.
Vids are getting longer. Thats what we likee. Good job man. Your doing great out here
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it!
Dude, very cool!
Thanks!
Interesting episode. 👋
Wow, I hadn't thought of Tito in a very long time. And once again you take us to a fascinating site that I certainly never had imagined existed. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating !:-)
Was an adventure!
Likewise, "Objekt505" or the so-called Željava underground air base is one of the 3 most expensive projects of the former Yugoslavia that led to its financial bankruptcy, a collapse that, among other factors, led to the escalation of bloody wars.
1:02 Just one correction; he was not Josip Tito, but Josip Broz - Tito ... Tito was his nickname.
Cant believe I missed that. Thanks for the correction!
@@MasonObscura It's ok 😉
