inside Duga-3 / Дуга-3, computer mainframe of the Russian Woodpecker / Chernobyl-2

We're still in the dugga, so that huge Soviet raider Over the Horizon that I uploaded in my last video, but this time let's go to the control room and the

computer

rooms in the

duga

area, so we'll just go through the dugga antenna the doubt and we just head towards the administration building and then towards the control rooms, so let's take a look inside that administration building. You can see quite strange FL, so I don't know why they built them like that, but let's see what they have. here I don't know what that is, but it looks a little like one of those telephone switchboards you knew back then, when a person had to sit there and connect you to the other side tube, oh, for Army with an aluminum case, mhm it looks So. some kind of quite cozy office room, actually like a youth hostel, maybe if you clean up a little it won't be so interesting anyway, so let's move on to the main building that would house the control room and

computer

rooms, and you can see quite a lot of electronic equipment scattered outside, already big capacitors, circuit boards, these old tube monitors, electromagnetic tape, I guess it was part of a hard drive or something inside, wow, yeah, it feels cold, that's true, yeah, Outside there were approximately more than 10 celi and inside it was very cold. minus 5 degrees centigrade or something H was the main computer, not much left of it, sadly old, uh, hard drive, oh yes, with tape in it, yes, all that equipment in this room was part of one big super computer at that time he would control the

duga

area. quite surprising, shame there are so few left.

I have no idea what kind of outlet that is, if any of you know that will be interesting to know, but moving forward, you can see there's a lot of electronic stuff in that corner if you left. all this I wonder what were the valuables that were really taken and you can see my breath in the freezing air, it's time to squeeze a little, it's amazing to imagine how this whole room was full of computer equipment, like a big server room today, and this was a top secret project for a long time. I mean, of course, it could be heard all over the world, but no one knew exactly where it came from for a long time.

Coton something, I guess, high voltage. I don't know, yes, my communication speed was indicating. I had found something small detector oh pluton, yes, a smoke detector that contains plutonium, oh yes, you can, it is an ionization smoke detector that works just like the ones used today, which contain amum 241, in case If you want to see it, here's a closer look. In another one that I found in Chernobyl, you can see that golden capsule and right there, in that brownish gray layer, it has the plutonium for the smoke detector. The roof must be covered in ice that's melting now or something.

Where do you think the water is? Coming from there, it is still very cold at night, below freezing. I guess the sun is melting the snow on the roof and the water is coming in and since it's so cold inside, it's turning to ice again. H could be a good cocktail. crushed ice let's go ahead and see what's inside the other rooms, you can smell the fungus in the air, it looks like this used to be some kind of storage room, oh memory. How nice and here, on that shelf, another one of these clunky memory modules too. like another circuit board, no idea what it was used for and apparently this is a memory module, pretty cool transistors, maybe a macroscopic CPU, I don't know, I'm too young to know all this, I guess it's a strange floor , I wonder if it had working cables. through it or what the purpose of that gap was I don't know 33% 8 oh yeah, okay, there's a lot of plutonium scattered everywhere, but anyway let's move on.

I like these dark, creepy hallways. Imagine the responsibility of the people who worked here. They had an early detection of the launch of nuclear bombs and if you detect them, prepare The Counter Strike, the end of the world as we know it. It looks like packaging for those hard drive tapes. Some parts are still in the packaging, but it's just a plug, something, but still in the packaging. oh old belus matches oh program punch C secret program written in 1980 it says there on the left side this is the software for the dugga area how Wicked not everything changed but at that time it was great now go with some friends and guys, a new movie American, wow, yeah, it was this device for, uh, this perfect card, oh yeah, the punch card reader to feed the software to the main frame, that's crazy, do it again, oh, ice, and more holes , look at the next room we are finding.

This thing looks like some kind of graphite, I'm not sure if it's something special or just for use on a pen, I have no idea there was a control room here, oh well yeah, that's where you'd have the console of the computer and it's a shame. There's not much left. I bet it looked like a spaceship at the time. This used to be the control room. Unfortunately, it's not as spectacular as a strong wind could have been. Suddenly, this is a cool view. It's actually the back of the control room and how the guys saw its antenna at that time, it was part of this big yeah, cool, it was also used in the reactor control rooms, we'll see that later, there's another piece of that monitor, but sadly, other than that, there's not much else.

For top secret viewing, it appears that these multiple computer rooms were actually connected across floors or at least some of them were. I guess that's where all these holes went, but I'm not 100% sure how it all worked out, yes, here too, yes, me on the floor. and holes it's almost like inside a pyramid many dangerous obstacles cables with small rings Rings each ring a little this room is almost empty again as you can see, it used to be some kind of computer, all those things and now it's just some lamps and well , it seems like they left a lot of memory for some reason I guess it wasn't valuable enough or something electromagnetic electrostatic Shield copper and steel Infrared room oh mhm ceing I see that everything is made of iron many circuit boards with a passive it is cooling, but apart After that, everything is empty, so we are going to take a beautiful sunbath on the roof.

It can be a hassle to have a tripod in one hand and the camera in the other. These shingles were a little too moveable for my taste, but anyway. Nice view, so this is the roof of the control room building basically with the computers and on the other side you would have the duga assembly, the two antenna pieces, one 160m high and the other about 90M, just a small view of that roof and on the antenna, but if you go a little further on that roof, preferably without tripping, then you'll get a much better view again.

Look at all these trees growing on that roof. It's pretty amazing how nature just claims it all, so let's do one last good thing. view of that beautiful dugga 3 antenna area, but as we move forward, the Zone has a little surprise again: the shaly horses, if you look closely you can see that there are two much smaller horses between them, so it's probably The Last year's Offspring, that's great. on horseback look, the other two are still going oh, where are my friends? Oh what happened? What the heck is a pretty impressive, healthy looking stallion right up close?
