Duga Radar Russian Woodpecker

The military base known as Chernobyl-2 was a top-secret facility built around the massive Duga-1 Radar Antenna: a transmitter measuring 150 meters high, and 1 km in length. Designed to detect incoming ballistic missiles, the object was nicknamed the ‘Russian Woodpecker’ due to the tapping noise it transmitted across radio frequencies. Today it remains as one of the most impressive Cold War artifacts anywhere in Ukraine.
