              I don’t know why the article posted photos of such poor quality. If you find this place on the digital globe website, you can see that the image is almost perfect. You can distinguish all the details.
              Moreover, the image quality during processing when applied to a card becomes worse.
              Therefore, in the original picture, everything is visible very well.

    to the issue of secrecy. Yesterday, in OK, the news about the new BZHRK was 557 comments. After reading it, I got a text about previous missile divisions, small, but with military unit numbers, locations, and other details. In my opinion, even this information should at least be "for official use." And on this site in general somehow follow this?

    And what is there so secret they discovered ?! The landfill was founded in 1946 and the same states have maps of it for decades. Launch pads and fall pads - it is clear not one, each according to its purpose. Another injection of horror on other states - just throw toilet paper, and remember to yourself.

    The quality of the pictures on the site is really excellent. Although the area itself was not looking.

    And why do we need the chipboard fingerboard for this material? Divisions have not existed for 15 years. We handed over the coordinates to the Americans in the 90s. All directories have a history of these divisions and regiments with locations, honor numbers, names of commanders and call signs. Why, then, is the fact that history has already put the bar. And then it turns out that in the years 80-90 the "Secret" bar was removed from the Maxim machine gun .... What is needed - it is necessary to put the stamp, what is not necessary - there is no need to do this. And sometimes at times our secrecy overwhelmed.

    So far, for them, this object is really a "terra incognita." They do not know what it is, and therefore they are talking about a secret object. Over time, it will become known and no one will say that this is a secret object. It is only known for certain that this object is located in the air defense sector of the landfill, next to the 23rd site. What is this data yet
