The most northern Russian base reveals secrets

August 27 2018

There are no such places on Earth anywhere else. So that in the edge of endless ice, on the land of polar bears, in the epicenter of endless snow blizzards, a truly major center of civilization appears - a unique phenomenon.

The northernmost border post on the planet, the northernmost temple on the planet, the northernmost airfield and the northernmost military base. Where for the first time in stories humanity in high latitudes created such comfort, what and on the mainland can not be found everywhere. Where the standard "set", like a bath, library and gym, is not located in cramped boxes with window-loopholes, but in spacious rooms with panoramic glazing.

All northern countries, such as the United States, Canada, Norway, do not have such military bases. There are polar and polar stations, which, at the same time, fulfill the “orders” of the Ministries of Defense of these countries, but no one has full-fledged military capital construction facilities.

The Arctic Shamrock is a truly unique base. It has a whole range of various military facilities and systems, and the food supply stored here is able to provide all personnel with quality food for up to 1,5 years.

  The layout is apparently well thought out, because it happens that you can’t put your nose out on the street for several days, everything is connected by transitions and this is correct. People and equipment in such conditions should be warm. And enough to build barracks.

    The layout is thought disgusting. Especially disgusting for conditions of severe freezing temperatures. No need to buy a futuristic look. Yes, very beautiful, but nothing more.
    Separate blocks, separated from the central one by long corridors, are idiocy even in a warm climate. They do not carry any functionality, they only make you waste time on an additional path "back and forth". Absolutely pointless! In addition, such a layout with dedicated individual modules makes it waste precious heat, which does not go to neighboring rooms, but dissipates in space. This is not to mention the damage to communications - and the module becomes unusable.
    
    Apparently, the "designers" confused a military base with a research base. Here, in the latter, long corridors are very appropriate, as they serve as an additional insulating factor from possible harmful effects.

    Why show-offs? Our warriors should serve with conveniences, and the forms of the structure should not put pressure on the psyche with their barracks appearance. Let there be something cosmic.

      Yes, where does the barracks look?
      It’s just that in the conditions of the far north, too large a ratio of the area of enclosing structures is fraught with excessive heat losses, which is elementarily expensive in peacetime, and in military times it can be a direct threat to survivability. The balls here are just quite the topic, but the raskoryaka in between - not really.

  And I have a question, why is the ground border post in the Arctic? where can only a polar bear survive and pass? Is it not easier to do with modern methods of radar observation from the coast of the mainland? Again, it will be less costly. Maybe Norgians, Americans and Canadians have learned this before and are not engaged in gigantomania.

    It’s not a matter of gigantomania. And in the calculation that Russia in the Arctic was finished in the 90s. And accordingly there are no NATO members either. Wait, they will return there when they reach what they have missed. There were bases both in Greenland and Canada.

  I will quote Vyacheslav Shpakovsky (Caliber)
  Why Trilobite brooch painted by Angus McBride on the chest of a Scandinavian woman? But because in this place such brooches were found in a number of burials!
  Article on VO dated August 25 "If you want to write to the Osprey publishing house ..." Interesting coincidence.
  Regarding investing in such bases - it’s very easy to destroy it. The presence in the Arctic (and it should be!) Could be designated cheaper. Although .... in the presence of nuclear weapons from the North, no one will trample on us.

    Two heaters, one boiler and a hospital for frostbite?
    The Arctic is our investment in the future (and the possible battlefield for its richest resources, barely touched by humanity so far). Perhaps this is almost the only state program that I personally fully approve of (as well as the creation of very expensive Arctic equipment and the training of the Arctic forces).

      Am I arguing? But about the Arctic base - do you want to argue about its security? No security. Under the tsar, during the USSR, the presence was designated differently - they built military towns, with military and civilians. Subsequently, these towns became full cities.

  Layout thought disgusting
  
  I didn’t know it would be a secret, but I’ll say that they didn’t even think about any "energy efficiency"! They built a military base and the criteria were laid down as for a military base, i.e. the safety of its use was taken into account (there will be no barracks above the missile depot), including in case of an attack (read a military base). I don't like the base, go to civilian life.
  P.S. I apologize for getting excited, but remember the Pentagon building and its corridors in the Guinness book, as the longest, also architects from you to me.

All northern countries such as USA, Canada, Norway do not have such military bases. There are circumpolar and polar stations, which in combination fulfill the "orders" of the Defense Ministries of these countries, but no one has full-fledged military capital construction facilities

Thule Air Base (Pituffik; Thule Air Base, Pituffik Airport; IATA: THU, ICAO: BGTL) - US air base in the north of Greenland, located in the territory of Kaasuitsup commune, but is not part of it, but is an unincluded territory of Greenland. It is the northernmost US air base, located 1118 km north of the Arctic Circle and 1524 km from the North Pole.

  Have you ever tried to compare the climate of Greenland with the Arctic? If not, it's time to self-educate. Even in the Pituffica you mentioned, the average January temperature is only around -27 Celsius. And in Siberia, we have cities (and military bases nearby) where it is colder. Since the days of the USSR.

      As if to forget it is not necessary that the trefoil is on the ZFI. And there, to the pole, about a thousand miles, and not one and a half, like mattresses. And this is not a huge Greenland, where the Gulf Stream passes nearby, but the polar archipelago, near the devil on the small cakes. Such tin, it happened to be there several times, even before the start of construction.

Apparently, the ammunition depot and the fuel and lubricant depot are not well combined with the living quarters, even for the sake of energy efficiency. Hence the divided boxes.
As for the base in the Arctic, it is obvious that in addition to military functions, there will be tasks of supporting the NSR, metro surveillance.
By the way, as a rule, long-term planning in the early stages brings continuous costs.
