Thanks for the pics. If you don't mind me saying that it looks like a good place to film a zombie or a mutant movie, perfect location. ;)

[WoodChipper]

Thanks for the pics. If you don't mind me saying that it looks like a good place to film a zombie or a mutant movie, perfect location. ;)you got that right. It looks like an awesome place.

[AnimalMutha]

This place IS half life 2!! How much fun would a spot of paintball be round here?

[Johan M]

very nice pics

anyone who has pics of abandoned Soviet bases in Eastern Germany, Hungary, Czech and Slovak republic?

[tenda]

Thanks for the pics. If you don't mind me saying that it looks like a good place to film a zombie or a mutant movie, perfect location. ;)
...yep x 2 or for an airsoft gamez...!!!!!!! :D

[Herrmannek]

If you want please come here for a weekend :) , I'm sure it would be cheaper than a weekend in your country :)

[shadower]

To bad they didn't keep buildings in good condition and give place to live to people that can't afford one.
Nice pics!

[mack pl]

and who would give them a job there? Most of these bases were in some wild woods, far from civilisation :lol:

Na, those were build in superiory inferior standards add to that Russians didn't care about those buildings at all so when they left those where unocupaple ruins alredy, no one would like to live there....Oh and Those building with were in state that alowed resotorations and/or were in atractive places are used... Biggest problem is with airfields because of fuel contamination, Russians often droped fuel before landing so if you dig a hole and throw there a lit match you can get a bonfire for free :)

You know you want to go there or even live in a room in one of those buildings. It will remind you of STALKER: Shadows of Chernobyl. ;)

I've always liked abandoned - industrial - kinda dirty areas, in the city or in the woods. ;)

[CG51]

interesting...

So, Poland is stuck with the cleanup bill?

[mack pl]

I've always liked kinda dirty areas in the city ;)

you mean latino ghetto in NYC where you live in? :lol:

[Stormy]

Lol I knew you would say something like that. Actually, the industrial area where I work, it's a few blocks but so quiet, good place to race, drink and there is some clubs around too. reminds me of a comic book like spiderman or the punisher, you know the feeling. What about the Polish backwoods where you live ? you don't even have pavement on the street or sidewalk. :lol: p-)

[Zlatko]

I know man, me too :)

These pics look SO badass..i love them.

And yes, it does look both like half life 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R, chernobyl.

[theg]

thnks man nice pic

[EvanL]

doesnt look like the condition has changed much since the soviets left ;)

[Baron Harkonnen]

Here they made a "Stalker" PC game :backhand:

[b.scheller]

i thought that no Soviet nuclear weapons were ever kept on Polish territory?

-b.scheller

[GazB]

i thought that no Soviet nuclear weapons were ever kept on Polish territory?

I very much doubt that. They would have been under Soviet KGB control of course, but the US had nukes in western european countries... why shouldn't the Soviets forward deploy their nukes too?


interesting...

So, Poland is stuck with the cleanup bill?

When the Soviets left the Poles were more interested in the speed of leaving rather than what was or was not left.

The fact that not much has changed over 15 or so years suggests they had no alternative use for the land anyway so its condition is rather irrelevant till they find a use for it.

If some entrepreneur (spelling) wants to use it for a Urban combat training area for NATO... simulating an old Soviet base, or a civilian equivelent for paintball or laser strike then you could say they left it in excellent condition for that... :P

[Hawk of prairie]

what a treasure rofl

[Apogee]

Thats straight out of a movie. It'd be really cool to discover something like this while hiking.

Maybe up in Alaska or something. I guess we all still have a little kid who lives in side us.

yeah i know what you mean its cool exploring such places... Im living in Germany and i once found an old sealed bunker in a forest - at first I thougt it was a german WW2 bunker - but i learned later from an british friend of mine that it was a abandoned Weapon and Ammo storage bunker of the British Army who have a camp nearby :cantbeli:

[Frank Discussion]

Excellent shots, thanks for posting. Quite a large amount of military infrastructure to abandon. Are there any plans for these areas? I would imagine there is a good deal of contamination present.

[TuNeRsHaRk]

damn perfect for airsoft

[nagant_m44]

Here they made a "Stalker" PC game :backhand:

you mean the game that will come out in 2015 right? ;)

[talib_killa34]

That looks post-apocalyptic right there! And all they did was leave the place and let 15 or so years roll by?


DANG!!!!!! rofl

[Xaito]

DANG!!!!!! rofl

will happen to almost every place if left for a long time without maintenance

there was once a site on the net of a woman who rides her bike in chernobyl and makes pics with her camera - nice pics - its like the time stopped there
these pics remindet me of that site

ah i found the link in my bookmarks again :)

you want to be careful in that area, you never know what the soviets barried around there. They didn't care about their own country's environment, why would they in an occupied country.

[fernleaf]

Fantastic place for FIBUA training, or in the airbases case - a fantastic bombing range!

It's quite sure that the Soviet army had nuclear weapons stored on Polish territory. Some of these weapons were to be used by the Polish army 'liberating' Denmark and northern Germany- retired generals don't make a secret out of it- http://www.isn.ethz.ch/php/documents/collection_9/texts/Nuclear_Delusions.htm

Soviet army in Poland left 59 bases. Some of them were handed over to the Polish army (like Swietoszow garrison or Nadarzyce bombing range), some were converted into industrial areas. But most of them is located in the forests, far from main roads and cities so it's hard to find any use for them- maybe except airsoft :) They became fairly popular among Polish ASG community.

[conscript]

Really familiar view! In Latvia we have **** like this too! And yes its really good place for MOUT training! The best ones is ballistc missles bases, realy scary there!!

Dont treat them serious, they are a bit mendacious, and nobody can ride a bike in the zone, it is forbidden.

read what she writes - her father does some research there or something like that - so she uses his entry permission to enter the zone...
of cause you cant tell for sure if the story is true - but it seems to me like that as the pics are defenetly taken in chernobyl

They are.

Who would waste their time photoshopping like 200 pictures? :roll:

[anonymous individual]

The place looks ghostly.

[percell_086]

Oh great pics! I 've always liked places like this I don't know why. I used to visit an abandoned hospital a few times. It was great to walk around in.

Not really , my friend who is reporter recenty contaced Ukrainian embassy to get permision to drive there and take some photos. More problematic is however to get reporter accreditation than entry permision....

[Doom]

What of all the radiation? that would freak me out unless i had a radiation suit lol, it would be cool to have war games in an abandoned town, but i would stay away from the radiation.

[Xaito]

if you are familiar with where you can go and where not (like running through a forrest which glows red at night ;) )
there is no problem - if you have measurement instruments to see how radioactive an area is you get to know where there is no threat for your life...

[zulu261]

Well just creamed myself while thinking of a good game in those missile storages woot

[Johan M]

this is a site with pictures of abandoned Belgian bases in Western Germany. Very nice.

http://users.pandora.be/Dirk.Duym1/bsd.htm

Also some pictures of the camp of Vogelsang, the last Belgian base in Germany, which will be abandoned at the end of 2005, the end of an era...

[Chuckie]

That would have been a killer place to have a keg party back in High School. No cops or houses around, you can drink and blast music all night... It's a bit out of the way though from NY.

[NicNZ]

Looks like a nice enough military bases. Overgrown now, of course, but any base will be overgrown after fifteen years without use.

Thanks for the pics.

[Drunkensquid]

It's ironic to see those buildings in such bad condition, kind of like the ussr was when the red army pulled out.

[Kingswat]

Thanks for the pics

Kolonia Brzeznica special object- a complete guide: :)

Abandoned Soviet military base near the village of Kolonia Brzeznica (NW Poland) was probably one of the few storage sites for nuclear weapons located on the Polish territory. Nuclear warheads for R-11/ SCUD-B or RT-21M/ SS-20 missiles were probably stored there.

Nuclear base operations:
Due to the safety and technical reasons the warheads were stored in the low readiness status (without some important parts, ie. detonators). Side halls (pic1 (http://www.plus-minus.imax.com.pl/Historia/Sov-Brzeznica/Hala-mont2.jpg), pic2 (http://www.plus-minus.imax.com.pl/Historia/Sov-Brzeznica/Hala-mont3.jpg)) were used as the storerooms. the warheads were assembled and chcecked in the main workshop (pic (http://www.plus-minus.imax.com.pl/Historia/Sov-Brzeznica/Hala-mont1.jpg)). The procedure took about 2 hours. Then the warheads were loaded onto the truck and transported to the horizontal silo. The final assembly of the warhead on the missile took place there. After that the missle was carried to the trans-shipment ramp where it was loaded onto the TEL vechicles.

when russian troops leave Georgia, they usually vandalize buildings, leave anti personell mines hided in ground and also disperse unexploided ordnance, also in numerous locations containers with cesium where found. what a bustards..... :-*$

artllery ranges they use they dont clear, very poor locals rush to abandoned ranges to searh for metal scrap and usually die or recieve sever injuries because of unexploided ordnance..... :|

[adlep]

Another Polish site.
They went to an Ex. East-German, top secret fallout shelter in PRENDEN, Germany.
Notice, that the complex is very well preserved:
http://www.bunkrowiec.com/galeria/prenden/
http://www.bunkrowiec.com/galeria/prenden2/
Also, the first Polish site
http://www.opuszczone.com/
Has an English menu and links to their trips to Germany (again Prenden) and Ukraine (Chernobyl), which I guess is a strange tourist attraction now, and YES you can get a tour of that place with an English or a German speaking tour guide..
:D

[adlep]

Sorry for a DP, but I have found another nice gallery of a Czech fortifications. Notice how well preserved these bunkers are!
Must be a huge tourist atraction for this region, too bad that they never had a chance to put it to a practical use
http://www.foto.bunkrowiec.com/czechy/

Thats is what I call "try before you buy"
http://www.foto.bunkrowiec.com/czechy/imagepages/image43.html

Neat...
:D

Yea woot i'm playing there(Kluczewo former airbase) atleast once a month with my mates. Place is awesome
Guys from Berlin played with us there and they were also really delighted ;)

BTW great pics

those metal beams look like there about to snap

[Johan M]

strange that the Russians have left all this stuff behind. In other bases, they even took windows and doors back to Russia.

Or is all this stuff contaminated? :|

http://www.bunkrowiec.com/galeria/prenden/images/IM001973.JPG

[percell_086]

Don't know, is this of the nuclear weapon site's? Maybe then it is....but I would find it a bit strange to leave it too contaminated, as it is in another country. Wouldn't the country's governement try to clean it up?

I think that these bunkers were used by the East Geman and Czechoslovak armies, not by the Soviet forces- i.e. all the signs and inscriptions inside are in German/Czech

those bunkers will not last unocupied for long time. They are great for server rooms nad comapnies are killing themselves to put hands on them...

Really familiar view! In Latvia we have **** like this too! And yes its really good place for MOUT training! The best ones is ballistc missles bases, realy scary there!!

Where are the missile silos? The only base I've looked around in is the one near Daugavpils.


of cause you cant tell for sure if the story is true - but it seems to me like that as the pics are defenetly taken in chernobyl

Some people claiming to be her friends have said that her story is not entirely true - she didn't ride the bike there, she had photos with the bike taken elsewhere, but that she actually did take those photos in Chernobyl (there's a few guided tour agencies that will let you do this sort of thing).

However, I think her other photojournal (http://www.serpentswall.com/) about digging around WWII battle sites looks authentic, and is pretty interesting too.


when russian troops leave Georgia, they usually vandalize buildings, leave anti personell mines hided in ground and also disperse unexploided ordnance, also in numerous locations containers with cesium where found. what a bustards.....

Normally I would question your sources, integrity, and ****** orientation when you say something as stupid as this, Levan, but this time I have something to add. The worst thing Russian troops may have done when leaving Georgia happened about 14 years ago, when a certain unnamed officer decided to pay a last visit to a certain unnamed "special lady" and forgot to bring protection with him. Nine months later you were born. Now I know why you are so angry all of the time. :petting:


strange that the Russians have left all this stuff behind. In other bases, they even took windows and doors back to Russia.

Well if nobody has bothered to loot all this stuff there has to be some problem with it. I think the problem is that it's all junk and not worth even looking at, that's what the officers probably thought too.
