This might be a older thread but Wow really great find Mad scientist

I love seeing more information on Russian secret sites its really rare compared to info on western bases and secret sites. For example the Secret Russian base "Kasputin Yar" google it and your lucky to get (190 hits) google area 51 (2.2 million hits)

Beloretsk 15 & 16 (now called city of Mezhgorye ) are two more such Russian cities. They are next too the infamous Yamantau Mountain nuclear bunker.

Yeah, these cities are pretty amazing. And there were about quadruple that number during the Cold War. Pletsek and all that. There were also a few in Kazakhstan. Novaya Zemlya was also a major weapons test facility, mainly nuclear, as was a north-east part of Kazakhstan.
