        They were completely equipped everywhere, not only in the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin. Manchurian URs are also kept a lot of secrets. My friend was a commander of an engineering battalion who destroyed the Japanese URs of Manchuria after 1945 and until 1951, so he said that the complete system was never disclosed defenses of URs and they destroyed only what they could find. I didn’t mention Sakhalyan UR, opposite Blagoveshchensk in China, it has a lot of secrets. The same secrets are in Shumsha and other Kuril Islands including Matua.

      There, on Matua, there may be something that is dangerous to open. Biological and chemical weapons, and according to the data, they are there exactly, in what state they are now, is unknown. 3-4 days ago, on "Russia 24" there was a short report, there were guys in the KIH, and in the OZK (in full attire) with the appropriate instruments, inside the buildings (where you can get) they work. The secret entrance to the bunker, from the side of the sea, through which supplies were supposedly delivered, was found, but it is blocked.

      Well, if you are already very impatient, you will have to confine yourself for the first time to the book of Rothmann and Palmer "Japanese fortifications on the Pacific Islands 1941-1945". The principles of building fortifications are the same, but the filling of the hill may be different. Okinawans, which were stormed by the Yankees. The fortifications of the Kuriles are not described there.

Mostly border guards and radar posts. Now one station has remained in Simushira. But basically everything is in this state. As far as I can tell, this is the 37-mm anti-aircraft machine arr. 1939

    What are you going to cover all this from? A battery of anti-ship missiles and short-range air defense systems are enough for this. But so that the United States does not take this route to attack the Far East, long-range air defense is needed there, at the same time there will be a no-fly zone in the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk can be locked.

    Indeed, on these islands it is not necessary to keep garrisons.

    the island as a base is very interesting, in fact, the doors and control of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk up to 800 km into the ocean, if a good bay for ship parking is possible. That’s why you need to think how to settle in. Judging by the fact that the Japanese showed nothing grandiose and serious, the limited resources The defense network made it a tough nut. At the expense of weapons of mass destruction it is very unlikely. Only if they wanted to launch porcelain bombs from it. And then in the future. If you really make thermal heat supply, then perhaps it’s worth equipping Am. Over time, it will not be expensive. WFP is very good all the more so, what is the state and cost of bringing it to mind? It’s a pity that all this will be quite expensive. Yes, you can’t refuse a tourist destination, when calling cruise ships tour routes.
