| Video Discription | The history of Soviet military activity in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War is still largely a dark secret, with many of the key documents held in closed Russian archives. Although it is clear that storage bunkers for Soviet nuclear warheads were constructed in the country and missile-launch systems were based there, it is uncertain whether the warheads themselves ever entered the country. "Czechoslovakia never had the opportunity to confirm whether there were warheads [in the storage bunkers], One could only confirm this by studying the Soviet archives, which are now the archives of the Russian Federation." --- Czech historian Prokop Tomek --- In 1965, Moscow had decided to construct warhead storage facilities in East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia. The following year, then-Czechoslovak President Antonin Novotny signed an agreement to build three warhead-storage bunkers by the beginning of 1967 according to plans and equipment supplied by Moscow. The facilities would be operated by Soviet troops, which was a significant development because prior to this agreement, Czechoslovakia was the only Warsaw Pact country that did not host any Soviet forces. Between 1966 and 1969, under the code name Javor (Maple), the three facilities were built at Milovice, Ralsko, and Misov. In total, the three sites had the capacity to store 576 warheads. They were built to withstand a direct hit by a 3-megaton nuclear bomb. |
