The Duga Radar, built by the USSR in the 1970s, was one of the most powerful over-the-horizon radar systems ever created.

Hidden deep inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, this massive Cold War structure remains one of the most mysterious Soviet engineering projects. Discover the history, purpose, and secrets behind this colossal radar system.
