Abandoned radar station of Soviet missile defense system
“Dunai-3U” is early warning radar station of Soviet missile defense system A-35M located in Moskovskaya oblast. The station was put in service in 1978. NATO’s code for radar station “Dunai-3U” is “Cathouse”.
Today the station operates partly; most of the equipment was dismantled. Once it was one of the most secret military facilities of the Soviet Union. Today the station is practically deserted. Photos by artuniar.

You said its ‘practically’ deserted? Is there someone always on active duty? I saw there are lights still on? Is that just for air traffic control?
