Outstanding in Every Way - This was a great trip booked in advance with Green Tour Ukraine. Quite a long way out from our base in Kyiv but we’ll worth over 7 hours travelling. Located at the only surviving command silo and missile silo left in Ukraine, this place oozes Cold War. Vehicles and tanks abound including the transport and installation transports for the missiles themselves. A small museum records the history of missiles in Ukraine and then the main event, underground tunnels through to the command silo, very small lift 45m down til the 12 and 13 floors to the command room and the famous button and emergency accommodation. Back up through the massive ventilation plant room and then time to visit the outdoor exhibits. Really good day out and special thanks to Elena our guide who was a walking encyclopaedia of all things missiles, Soviet era and Ukraine.
