    Those triple fences were a really great security feature. The likelihood of anyone actually trying to sneak into a facility in the middle of the Soviet Union was pretty minimal, but they did make it easy for photographic analysts interpreting reconnaissance images to spot sensitive sites. Essentially the Soviets were drawing circles around anything they didn't want outsiders to look at.

    I lost a rather long relevant comment when the original clip got taken down for review & t's worth informing any subscribers. So here's a reconstruction.The fact of the location of Voronezh-45 being no where near the actual Voronezh is a classic textbook Soviet modus operandi to obfuscate. I've followed Space activities since I was a kid and this reminded me of the same obfuscation when the Soviets founded the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, which was no where near the actual mining town of Baykonur (renamed to the Kazakh name Baiqongyr after the USSR collapsed) . In reality, the Cosmodrome was located 320 km (200 miles) to the southwest at Tyuratam!

    Prigozhin is reported as having stated that he was tired of packaging his young men in zinc caskets whilst the sons of the politicians at home posted Instagrams of their morning makeup routines online. You kind of have to love him for that!
    I understand that. the Wagner Brigade is more the equivalent of the French Foreign Legion than a simple mercenary army.
    He was a hot head that wanted to be unleashed to completely overrun Ukraine whereas Putin was happy for the Ukrainian forces to batter themselves to death in well fortified killing fields.
    I would be interested in hearing your take on the story thus far.

You would expect the U.S stuff to be nicer and better but the Soviets and Russians spare no expense on their nuclear weapons program, its the crown jewl of their military and I bet they are pretty nice.
    In all the American facilities, I got the sense that nobody designing it ever thought it would be attacked. Soviet facilities always gives me the impression that they thought the facility being nuked was inevitable and that they built things accordingly
