Rússia prepara cidades sob a terra: sobreviver, e vencer uma guerra nuclear total.
Escavado em alta profundidade na rocha pura da montanha Yamantau (Rússia) está um gigantesco complexo militar de 1.000 kilometros quadrados - algo do tamanho de toda a cidade de Washington - , uma estrutura para 60 mil pessoas, e que resiste a seis diretos ataques nucleares sucessivos, todos num mesmo ponto. Além disso, em outros locais bem longe, tem uma rede de mais de 200 centros de comando menores espalhados numa área de milhões de kilometros quadrados, interligados pr ferrovias subterrâneas. Alguns comportam 30 mil pessoas.

Congressmen: Secret nuke-proof complex bodes ill for U.S. arms-control negotiations

It is believed to conceal one of Russia's darkest nuclear secrets -- a secret President Clinton, members of Congress and the U.S. military top brass have raised repeatedly with Russia's leaders, without ever receiving a response. Some U.S. analysts believe the secret underground complex beneath Yamantau Mountain betrays a lingering belief among top Russian leaders that they must continue to prepare to fight and win a nuclear war. Russians say they still fear the U.S. Today, Russia may be conducting nuclear deception on a far vaster scale beneath Yamantau Mountain, where it has dug out a gigantic underground military complex designed to withstand a sustained nuclear assault. U.S. intelligence sources tell WorldNetDaily that the Yamantau complex is but one of some 200 secret deep underground nuclear war-fighting sites in Russia, many of which have been significantly upgraded over the past six years at a cost of billions of dollars.

The Yamantau Mountain complex is located close to one of Russia's remaining nuclear weapons labs, Chelyabinsk-70, giving rise to speculation it could house either a nuclear warhead storage site, a missile base, a secret nuclear weapons production center, a directed energy laboratory or a buried command post. Whatever it is, Yamantau was designed to survive a nuclear war. "Yamantau Mountain is the largest nuclear-secure project in the world," said Rep. Bartlett. "They have very large train tracks running in and out of it, with enormous rooms carved inside the mountain. It has been built to resist a half dozen direct nuclear hits, one after the other in a direct hole. It's very disquieting that the Russians are doing this when they don't have $200 million to build the service module on the international space station and can't pay housing for their own military people," he said. The work at the Yamantau complex is only part of Russia's current efforts to modernize and reinforce some 200 deep underground command posts, nuclear warhead repositories and clandestine missile sites. Some CIA and Joint Chiefs of Staff analysts believe these assets will give Russia a strategic advantage over the U.S. in the event of nuclear war. Among these Russian sites is the Sherapovo command and control center, south of Moscow. This site, which is large enough to house 30,000 people, is the civilian command center the Russian government can use in time of war. It is connected to a network of deep underground bunkers built beneath the Kremlin, and linked to Moscow by a secret subway line. Russia's general staff has a similar facility some 20 kilometers away from Sherapovo, known as Checkov, which can also accommodate an estimated 30,000 people. A separate facility, located 850 miles east of Moscow at Kosvinsky Mountain in the Urals, has been designed as the Russian equivalent of the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center in Colorado, where the United States can track incoming ballistic missiles.and command U.S. forces to counter-attack. Altogether, the CIA now estimates that these sites can house some 150,000 Soviet civilian and military leaders and are impervious to direct nuclear strikes.
