Russia: Drone captures ex-Soviet military bunker complex based in Crimea

A Ruptly shot drone footage of a former secret Soviet bunker gouged deep into the Gasfort Mountain in Crimea, Friday. Codenamed Object 221, the secret underground emergency centre was intended to be a command post for the Black Sea Fleet in the event of a nuclear war. The large-scale underground system, also dubbed Object Nora Height 495, has three levels and connecting tunnels amounting to a total length of more than 10 Km (6.2 miles). Construction began in 1977 under the cover of the huge crushed stone quarry at the foot of Gasfort Mountain. Object 221 was around 90 percent finished when the Soviet Union collapsed, funding subsequently stopped in the early 1990s. The quarry is now used by the patriotic biker club the Night Wolves, who hold their annual bike show on the site.
