Inside a Nuclear Missile Base 

Man, even knowing the whole system was decommissioned, pushing the button to end the world must have felt surreal.

When the noise starts up after pressing the button his face briefly says, "Oh fuck, have I just been pranked into destroying my own country?"

I understand all those functions are deactivated but I'd still be too scared to touch any of those buttons.

Washington D.C. destroyed! [KARMA LOST]

Man - that guide was super chill talking about murder and suicide, it's kind of nice in a way giving perspective to the fact that this was a location for death dealing. A good personal tour which was pretty unique. I wonder if the tours get groups or not since it'd be difficult to have more than a person with them it looked.

The way he speaks so sarcastically about everything has me so happy. “Thees ees safe for pistol and gun. To uh.. uh... kill themselves because everybody outside is dead and you are alive so... _whats thee point right?”_ “I guess some farmer use them for ahh like uhh vegetables _or something_ 🤷🏼‍♂️”

I can't believe you nuked Washington D.C. for some patreon money.

Drew nuking Washington is the moment he became truly soviet.

This was cool and also extremely unsettling. I don't think I could've pushed that button.

As a kid who hid under his desk in "duck and cover" drills, this was amazing...and chilling! Excellent work Drew!

Some of this stuff gave me chills. Great job Drew.

9:20 That's the one James May tried to ignite.

This was so cool. Amazing job Drew!

Drew this is incredible.

I don't have a word for something that is both chilling and beautiful. But it's this video.

Very good video! As a former US Nuclear Missile Launch Officer (MMIII-CDB) in the mid 1980's, I can tell you that our systems were not really that different. An older US (1960's) system, the Titan II in Green Valley, AZ, has a museum very similar to the Soviet one in this video. We had about a 6 month supply of C-Rations and water. I am one of the few missile guys who got a peek inside our launch console. I saw two small tanks (like oxygen tanks) pointing towards an exit area in the console. They were unmarked. We argued over the purpose of these tanks for years. The final consensus was that they were poison gas tanks that were activated when all our missiles were launched. We knew we would die one way or the other!

Man Drew, what can I say, this is fantastic. I've seen tours of american silos before, but never a foreign installation. What a treat to bring us along with you.

Just keep on touring nuclear bases Drew, it's all I need. Bring Dmytro with you.

I love how matter of fact dude was about eating a bullet after nuking the world. Seemed like an interesting guy. Awesome vid Drew.

"I think it must be damp." - James May

Well done Drew. I found this video absolutely fascinating. Can't wait for more.

I love how he pats everything lovingly after putting things away just so.

Really interesting tour guide, super enjoyable. All of this sort of stuff brings uneasiness, but I agree it's really important to have a museum like it around.

Little did you know that that place is still operational. Great video, well done.

Jesus Christ, Drew, this was fantastic. My dad isn't a gamer at all but I'm going to show him this vid b/c he's a mild history buff. He's going to love it!

This is more detailed and more intimate than anything I've seen about Nuclear Silos. Great job Drew!

Having been in US active missile alert facilities, there are many similarities in the way things look and they way things work. It’s almost like the Ukrainian system was modeled after the US minute man system

The time, effort and resources we spend as a species carefully designing these kind of weapons is obscene.(But very cool to see first hand how they work.)

Where do they keep the Metal Gear?

If your ever near tucon,az go to the Titan missile museum, worth the visit

That control room looks like a set from a scifi film. It's interesting that the missileer has seatbelts on his control chair.

imagine if one of those massive doors just closed and locked lmao

Recently discovered your channel after the HBO Chernobyl series got me searching Chernobyl related videos and I found your video on how you spent 2 days in the Exclusion Zone, the comments section here is where I learned you’re the guy in the white guy blinking meme. Life is wild.

Great job Drew, amazing how similar it looks to the Titan missile museum in Arizona. Guess there are only so many ways to design facilities to destroy the world...

That museum looks so cool.

What was the actual entrance like? Not the entrance to the inner silo, but the door or system that allowed access the entire underground area itself. I keep seeing pictures of the blast doors, but what kept people from getting to that point?

I didn't know who Drew was when I first found this video, but reading the comments has taught me that Drew is awesome and a well known good friend. Nice video Drew!

Its cool. But if they are allowing people to see old bunkers like this it makes you wonder what the current ones look like.

Awesome tour and a great guide.

Truly a weapon to surpass Metal Gear(scanlon).

Scary to think that sat in one of those things back in the cold war the systems told them that numerous ICBM's were heading their way and they had to decide what to do..

Drew there is an ICBM site you can tour outside of Tucson. You should check it out if you haven't already.

Wow! Now that was interesting! Great job Drew!

I fell down the rabbit hole of this channel hard and all I can say is that I can't wait to see more.

That guy did some pretty good camera work. Maybe Drew should bring him on.

War never changes

The only problem with this series so far is that there isn't more to watch! Keep it rad and stay vert Drew!

I recognize that missile 9 minutes in, I think James may tried to light it with a lighter but it was "a bit damp" xD

And with this one video, I hope Cloth Map is around for a good, long time.

I was definitely not expecting this. If this is the type of content we can expect, I'm so glad I subscribed. I'm genuinely impressed, Drew.

This video was great I felt super entertained looking at all those missiles, guns and mines. Awesome video.

What an incredible museum. Fantastic that everything is in such good working order and great condition.

I was not ready for this video. It's a bit chilling for me to see what the reality is for nuclear war.

this is fascinating. great job drew, can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next

Drew. This is awesome. So glad you are doing this sort of stuff. Keep it comin'!

Awesome job, Drew. This doc was incredible. I really loved the soundtrack you used, too. It fit perfectly.

In Arizona there's a nuclear silo opened as museum too. Very interesting.

So great to see this preserved as a museum! The United States also has a missile silo as a museum where you can do a dummy missile launch to the Soviet Union!

Awesome job Drew, you look like you had a blast! that wedding thing was really really weird..

It is sort of scary how much effort they put into melting a city somewhere, but the tech is grusome. I live like 1km from the Moscow embassy here in Ottawa, so that may improve odds.

One of my all time favorite videos on this site. Thank you.

Awesome video Drew. This is a place I'd love to visit at some point! Thank you.

7:19 you had me laughing on the floor at that moment, that Portal reference was great! :D

I dig the mandate of this guide. Nuclear war is awful. Let's not do it anymore.

Spectacular work. Loving this series! Can't wait for more and future journeys!

Very interesting and really well made. Great work!

Anyone else remember when Clarkson Hammond and May came here and tried to lit the fuse on the big nuke?😂

Jesus Christ I was panicking just watching that, Drew how could you push the button???

This was amazing Drew. Absolutely amazing.

7:15 Portal 2 reference 11:46 "War never changes" Fallout reference

0:48 DEFCON is so SWEET!!!! I wish they would allow troops, smaller-scale very tactical wars but it is still awesome! And you didn't get "SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI" when you went overboard with your Minuteman III! :)

Wow, that launch alert sound is haunting.

it's really good to see a reasonable number of patreons. Carry on with the good work.

11:12 I am from this city shown here on the map... now live in Washington.. oh the irony. Even though the cold war wasnt exactly part of my era, but there are were dozens of bunkers and concrete military buildings that were abandoned making it a perfect place to explore and have my childhood memories of.

This deserves more views, even a few years after the post. 👍

"now, you press button.. *rumbling noise* OH BLYAT!"

Totally awesome video. (BTW, I am former USAF Cold War/Vietnam Era Intelligence...and I have never seen one of these up close and personal.)

very cool video it was nice to see things from a different perspective thanks!

Starting off *really* strong. I can't wait for the following episodes.

Holy shit this was cool as hell. Thanks Drew!

Excellent video Drew. Powerful stuff here.

For a second there at 6:03 that sound reminded me of the intro to Papers Please

This was really really cool. I was bummed to see you leave GB Drew but I'm really excited for what you're doing next. I'm not supporting the Patreon now but I definitely will soon. Thanks!

AWESOME VIDEO. This is exactly why I am a patron Drew, I love the other videos too but this is the meaty style video I've been looking forward too. Keep it up.

What an insane thing. Well done Drew.

Fantastic, Drew.

11:44 this gave me chills

11:42 narrator said *"War truly never changes"*

Thank you very much. I wonder what will be the next video? Maybe a ferris wheel? I heard Pripyat was lit.

Man, what an amazing video. I was born in late 1991, when the Cold War was at its conclusion, so I never had to live in this world. It's one thing to intellectually know that the world was like that once, and another entirely to see the facility and hear the launch sequence.

Absolutely wonderful work Drew

Very interesting, thanks Drew!

Interesting to see the other side of things. My father spent 2 years of the 60's in a US silo with his finger on the trigger so to speak. I toured a US silo some years ago & it was kind of surreal to see the Soviet version aimed at us.

Can Dmytro become a permanent Cloth Map hire? Dude was great.

Props for turning this into a nice museum, Atomowa Kwatera Dowodzenia in Kampinos totally went to shit after the park services took it over, now the whole bunker is filled wtih concrete :(

holy shit that doomsday sequence creeped me the fuck out. imagine creating a room for the express purpose of launching nukes at another country and pushing the button that was at some point built to initiate a catastrophe GREAT JOB drew. this is some great stuff!

Looks cool, where are the museum? Would deff like a tour like that!!! Great vid!

This is extremely entertaining, Thanks Drew

Well done Drew. Good Work. Looking forward to more.

Finally got around to watching this, great job drew! This stuff is truly fascinating.
