Hey, Mick here. Just want to say thank you so much for my supporters gift from last month. I have hit some hard times and have been feeling rather down and out and that just made my day so special especially since I was not expecting it. I must apologize also as I had to cancel my support for the moment, but I will be back when life gets better. Thank you so much again for all you do
We appreciate you my friend and very glad that you will be the future keeper of history. Thank you and never surrender and always keep smiling :)
I hope that things improve for you, Mick. Take care. Enjoy your support's gift as you deserve it.
Very interesting facilities, HH and EE! One really can't compare them to the German structures, but they are great to see!❤
I totally agree and such a interesting place that is. Thanks Cynthia :)
These Russian installations are very much a kit build form, probably gives minimal functionality, but good enough for their purpose. Huge area to explore, thanks for taking us there.
Totally agree and we actually loved this place. Thanks and more to come soon :)
but the Germans knew how to build ....
Thanks for watching.
Cool walk through of Soviet Cold War Era structures. Nice glimpse of another unfortunate Era. Thanks again H H and E E !
Appreciated Stephen and greetings from us :)
If that was in America, tweakers would have picked that place clean of everything except the concrete...
ok and thanks for watching.
Russian base? Where is this? 👍
Locations are never given. Thanks for watching.
cool to see the Russian stuff and how different it was. Awesome that you can just drive around there haha :D
Thanks for looking around and showing us : )))))
We agree , very cool to be able to drive around and check it out. Thanks my friend :)
At the last Hanger you should have stuck your flashlight and camera in through the gap in the doors to see what was inside , Obviously the doors have been shut for a very long time . Still an interesting find , But like others I like your WW 2 ventures better .
Thanks for watching.
your name is ww2historyhunter ;( i wana see german bunkers but you gave me more you gave me a better video keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching.
Fantastic find, never seen any explores around Soviet Cold War installations before.
Great explore indeed and thanks for being here :)
Very different from the German facilities. Fascinating to get to see this place. Thank you for bringing us along
Glad you enjoyed it
At 16:53, what type of MiG did you fly in?
By their presence, they also kept the peace. There always needs to be a counterweight.
We did not fly in a Mig. We flew with a former Mig pilot in a cessna something. Thanks.
@@WW2HistoryHunterNevertheless, I like the MiG-19s on the thumbnail.
Cool aircraft yes :)
😀👋🇸🇪
Thanks my friend :)
Fascinating kit construction! A bit crude, but they served their purpose. The doors were impressive. Neat to see the field. Thanks for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it and we thank you for being here and for your great support :)
These Russian bunkers appear to be primitive compared to the German bunkers. If I had a choice, I would seek cover in a German bunker for protection. Even as the war raged on in WW2, the advancing Allie’s would seek shelter in these bunkers even if they had been destroyed. It’s surprising as to how bunkers have developed since WW2. Many missile silos are many feet underground with only a concrete hut on top allowing entry. Simular to the missile silos you showed in an earlier video. We’ve seen WW2 locations and Cold War locations plus WW1 locations used by the Germans. We get to tour pretty much many of the fortresses and bases of the 20th century of Europe. Never know what we may see next. Keep surprising us.
Yes so would i :) Great explore and thanks so much Anthony :)
HH as you would say Holy Pancake what incredible Soviet aircraft bunker hangars.I think your right smaller one were probably for Mig 29 fighter jets a very potent weapon at the time. Great to see you and EE driving on the runways,i used to do the same thing at night; when i was security on a disused RAF base in Norfolk. There is definitely something about old air bases,like the past is calling out to you to remember the people who lived and worked there.👍
yes probably so. Loved the place and thank you my friend :)
Thanks for the video HH and EE, first cold War Russian bunkers I have ever seen. Like large logo units!!😎🐓🐓🐓🐓🇬🇧🇺🇦
We appreciate you my friend and thanks from us :)
Thanks for taking us there HH & EE . Very different from the German military sites. Liked your smiley face you made, EE. Stay healthy and keep smiling. ❤❤
Great place and thanks Laura :)
Interesting Cold War Russian airstrip on the Easten Front. It must have been something to land on an airsrtip like that. The Russian structures don't look like they are built nearly as well as the German structures, in my opinion. It does look like they were put up in a hurry. Most likely suited the purpose, at the time. Enjoyed that. Thank you EE and HH. 💞
Yes this place is HUGE and so many structures there. Crappy built but still a formidable place to explore and glad we did. Thanks Girl :)
Extremely interesting the Cold War was a very interesting time changed modern warfare forever! Thank you for showing us something we may never have even know about without you!
Appreciated and greetings from us.
That was something great driving down the old Soviet runway! Shame that one bunker was full of somebody's trash.
yes it was a great place to see and explore. Thanks so much and more to come :)
Good job my friend. Correct the bolt together revetments are near the end of the Cold War. Again, humans don't seem to care about other people's property. Pine trees once in an area will attempt to dominate it. My yard has that issue, and this year these trees have put on 24 inches. Stay safe and well both of you.
yes those trees are truly stubborn :) Thanks and more to come :)
I saw some similar MIG bunkers in Bosnia years ago. The motors for the blast doors were gone, but someone had figured out how to open them manually. I didn't see how they did it, but it makes sense that there would be a manual backup. The doors look pretty much identical to those in the video, but the hangers (bunkers) seemed to sit lower to the ground. That could just be my memory though lol.
Of COURSE the personnel bunkers had old tires in them. That seems to be a requirement of some kind lol. Cool explore HH and EE!
Thanks for sharing and for being here my friend :)
Typical soviet shoddy construction, they also never mastered brick laying.
Look a bit odd yes. Thanks.
Hi HH & EE,
The bunkers have apparently turned into a garbage dump.
It is very interesting to see the old Cold War bunkers of the Russians.
yes very sad to see that garbage in there. Great explore we think and thanks so much Oma for your great support.
1:23 / mosquito fish/ clean the trash/ amazing video/ next time/ comment in the beginning, hh & ee having fun while the rest of us can only dream ,
Thanks for that my friend :)
17:19 More blast walls , I would say this is a Dispersal . Basically a parking area out in the open where are craft are parked but ready to go . Normally if it is a engine run up pan ( parking ) they would have some metal fixing points in the concrete called tie down points , well when you are at full throttle testing an engine you don't want to rely on brakes that may fail and suddenly you are in the air . This has happened in the past with a Lightning in the RAF way back when , the Technician did manage to land the plane with minimal damage ....which proves a point .....an Aircraft tech is still a better pilot then some Harrier pilots lol .
we did see anchor points everywhere in the concrete actually. Thanks for being here :)
It's not like there was any bad feelings seeing the Russians leave. I am sure the locals celebrated and made use of what they left behind. You never know. That could very well be the Russians trash left in the shelters.
Thanks for watching.
What's a cold war is it an old war that can still be heard?? Why are there different names for war it's the same thing??
it is just a common expression not invented by me. Thanks for watching.
Wow. That's amazing. Great work both of you.
Thank you very much!
this is the last thing he asked me to do for him. So put a little gas in the Camper Van
Please read our mail reply. We have no words and thank you so much for your incredible kindness. WE will always remember that. It is never goodbye it is we shall see each other again in the future. Thank you.
@@WW2HistoryHunter He got to see this last video and got to watch the video that you sent him. with the tears running down his face all he could say is I'll see you on the other side and please put a little gas in the Camper Van. Good Bye my friend it's been one heck of a journey. It wasn't but a half hour later we all said good bye to him.
May god bless you. Eagle Eyes and Bunker Girl.
@@TimothyKepner Thank you and we will meet again in the future..
Awesome location. Enjoy looking at those old hangers.
Appreciated and greetings from us :)
Good to see how things evolved as new methods developed.
Shame at people can be so lazy to throw trash in locations.
i agree and will never understand why people would do such thing. Thanks for being here :)
Another cool place I love these videos a shame someone is dumping garbage in some of the bunkers
yes i agree , to bad some people do not have common sense and not do that. More to come and greetings from us :)
Another great video thank you so are a wonderful family
You are so kind
Thanks for your videos and to see eagle eyes hanging with you both exploring
Glad you enjoyed it
Very cool ! great video guys
Thanks so much Dave :)
These were very cool to explore. Of course the Germans knew how to build... These structures just can't compare. Thanks for taking us along. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯
Thank you guys, for this fascinating look back into the more recent past. It's a shame that someone has decided to use those bunkers as garbage dumps, but very wise of you not to push through it. Who knows what was in those bags. It's hard to imagine, now, with nature creeping in everywhere, but that airfield would have been a hive of activity back in the day, with people, and vehicles, and aircraft, moving every which way. And yes, it is interesting to wonder, what it was like, to close those hangar doors for the last time, and just walk away. Having been in similar situations, it is a very strange, eerie, feeling, knowing you're the last man out. Thanks again for all you work, and effort, to bring us such interesting locations, and History. Cheers to you both! Stay Safe!
Hoses to pump in their vodka.
Thanks for watching.
Coooool!
Another cool location HH & EE 👍🏻👍🏻
🇬🇧🤝🏻🇳🇴
Appreciated Glenn and more to come soon :)
What a spectacular Russian airstrip with tons of bunkers. The aircraft bunker is amazing with side bunkers with tons of attachments for wiring or gear. Thank you for all the hard work History hunter and Eagle Eye's.
Couldn't agree more and we thank YOU my friend for your great support :)
🤔👍✌️❤️
Thank you Robert from us :)
❤👍
Thank you from us :)
6:26 where there are the two hardened aircraft shelters , if you look left that looks like a blast wall for jet exhaust . This was done so aircraft taxiing out and some times in a hurry wouldn't blast people or equipment over with their exhaust blast . Trust me after having being sent flying by a Harrier when I was in the RAF , the pilot did it on purpose as he thought it would be funny . Thank you Harrier pilot !!! , he turned on the taxiway to point the rear of his Harrier then throttled up . Also once blasted from a standing position on the Monitor ( Foam Cannon ) into the crew seat down to my right by a Harrier that decided to fly over us in a slow hover whilst we were dealing with a Harrier on the Runway . All I remember was being stood up to being seated , my ears were ringing and every body else outside hit the deck . They kicked the crew door open and I was sat there dazed and they was shouting was I okay .....I couldn't hear them . Mad really as I would have thought it was worse for them being outside , what I didn't know was how close that Harrier was as it came from behind ....again thank you very much Harrier pilot .
Thanks for sharing and for watching.
Very nice tour of this discovery. When I watch all your videos I picture myself walking in their footsteps. Wish I could be there.
Glad you like them!
People forget about how recently the cold war was! Places like those were all over soviet controlled eastern Europe. Great location! Thanks for bringing all of us along for this explore. ❤
appreciated and greetings from us.
Go hike into a Ukrainian field
Thanks for watching.
Thanks! Gary Krasnianski.
So kind of you Gary and we really appreciate that my friend. Eagle Eyes says hello here behind me and be safe out there. Thanks so much :)
Another fascinmating explore, it is a shame that they could not be saved, and turned into a museum.
i agree and we hope some of them will be there so people can learn from history. Thanks and greetings from us.
Thanks for sharing this video it was very interesting I hope you and your family had a great holiday last weekend
Happy holidays!
Great video, 😮hopefully will do some more of the Cold War ,,keep up the great work
Thanks for watching.
Another cool place !!!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
The single engine jet fighters that the soviets would have had at the time would have been MIG21 and MIG23. The double negine is MIG29.
ok and thanks for watching :)
That third bunker looks to have been used mainly as a storage place for all the trash generated by those using the facility during the cold war. I can just imagine how rank that must have smelled, Yuuckk!🦨
Not a good thing to see. Thanks for being here with us :)
You could get sick again being in there!😮
All is well but not a nice place to see or be at. Thanks.
That was something different and interesting. I imagine there is a lot more cold war sites about in that area of Europe. Glad we got to see this area. Curious, any crew quarters or idea on where they were. Enjoyed seeing this. History is what it is about. Thanks for taking us along. Stay well.........
There are for sure and we shall share more later Colleen. Thanks so much :)
The hammer and sickle is offensive to me. I want it blurred or completely removed from games and models including an anti- hammer and sickle campaign. Because my sensitivities are more important than history.
Thanks for watching.
Super site both of you have found here I don't think it would take much to repair these ones to get back into action. Those people who put their rubbish into these bunkers need to be charged with illegal dumping filthy pigs. Stay safe guys.
i agree and we thank you for being here :)
It's great to see some cold war history - Thank you both :)
Sometimes it is yes. Appreciate you watching :)
Love WW2 history but painful for these people who dead in WW2 😢😢
Thanks for watching.
Very interesting location, thank you and EE for the tour. Like you said, it makes your imagination run wild. Hope all is well. Stay safe out there my friends.
Awesome Video
Soviet Union cold war...Not Russian 😂
Thanks for watching.
Hi
Cool video as always , thank you .
Thanks for watching!
What a great location. The structures with huge doors are hardened aircraft shelters or protective aircraft shelters which are reinforced hangars to protect military aircraft from enemy attack. Thanks for the tour and as always " Good Hunting ".
Come on man did you see them so called aircraft bunkers wouldn’t have taken more then a bomb or two to destroy one of them
ist ex DDR?
Probably
Thanks for watching.
