In the third episode of our series about Chernobyl, we will tell You about several military facilities located in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone - ZGRLS [over-the-horizon radar] «Duga», the Station of distant space communications, the complex VNZ [Ionosphere Reverse Oblique Sounding Station] «Krug» and the Chernobyl-2 town. Once all these objects were part of a huge military complex. It is clearly illustrated by the diorama we found in the fire department on the outskirts of an abandoned military town.
The central object of the complex is the «Duga» antennas, a huge radar about that many different rumors and myths are afloat. For the third episode of our series, we contacted the engineer who, was engaged in commissioning work on the «Duga», before the 1986 accident and he told us peculiarities about this complex.
