Russia Upgrades Cold War-Era Command Center For Nuclear War

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been quietly upgrading a secret, Cold War-era command center deep inside a mountain that can withstand American bunker-buster bombs and guarantee mutually assured destruction in the event of nuclear war. The facility, known as Facility 1335, is located beneath the Kosvinsky Kamen mountain in the Urals and has been undergoing a major modernization project since 2018. The upgrade includes new procurement contracts for steel, cement, and electrical equipment, as well as the installation of blast-resistant equipment and communication systems. This development was first reported by The Sunday Times, Danwatch, and Dossier Center.
