What ARE the Russians up to? NATO fears grow over why 'research vessels' sent by Moscow have taken over mothballed secret Arctic base in mountain hideaway
Concerns are growing over Russian ships that have docked in a once-secret naval base in the Arctic.
Military leaders in Norway are nervous about its powerful neighbour's presence on its 'strategically important' coastline following a spike in tensions between Russia and NATO nations.
Some experts have criticised the shutting down of Olavsvern Naval Base - a huge complex buried in mountainous terrain near the town of Tromsoe - which has been closed since 2009.
But fears have once again peaked after three Russian ships spent the entire winter docked deep within the mountain hideaway which was once a heavily guarded military facility.

Thanks Libloather.
You remember the GI Joe cartoons? COBRA always had a different secret base that was hidden in some swamp, but was extremely huge. That has to be the only explanation.
Of course, some people think the Russian navy is on the verge of collapse:

There’s oil in the Arctic...lots of it.The US,Canada,Norway,Sweden and Finland should beware of Vlad’s determination to do in the Arctic what his pals in Beijing are doing in the South China Sea....seize *all* of it.
And with a little help from Obama...

Yes there still are a few leaders interested in protecting the national interest and bringing economic benefits to their nations. It goes to show how much the world has turned upside down when the leaders of Russia and China care more about their nations than western leaders obsessed with globalism.
Oil is so 20th century. The future belongs to renewable alternative energy.

Have no fear. If the Russians had the money to build a Dooms Day Device, as usual they would let it corrode to hell and would go boom.
Ah, recall the Traitor in Chief telling Nemedveov, to let Vlady know that after the election he will be able to deliver more. The sell out of the USA continues.
Yep..... they don’t build WMD’s that can be easily serviced for life extension, alts or mods or even dismantled when new or improved are designed.... their ordnance stays ordnance until hell freezes over ........ and they went arctic camping.
Are you referencing Dead Hand?
Putin controls the world’s weather from secret Arctic base.
(Next week’s headline)
They’re probably just stripping all the Copper pipes ,door knobs etc
The Russians are invading a NATO country.
They built one a long time ago ... but what happened to it is anybody’s guess.
What did they expect? You abandon a strategic site and someone else is going to grab it up and then dare you to take it back. We learned that in first grade playing with 3” high plastic soldiers.
You reckon they've got a pile going as a power source, and it's become a tad unstable? Of course, it could be a leftover item from Systema "Perimetr", 15Э601.
