Naval Fortress: Vladivostok Coastal Defense

Описание: The Russians are here to stay — that was the motto of the Russian engineers who designed the Vladivostok Fortress. The Voroshilov Battery was erected in just two years, from 1932 to 1934. It includes two turret mounts taken from battleship Poltava. The turret — weighing 900 tons — can be rotated manually, you only need ten men for this. A coastal fortress that didn't fire a single shot in a war —because the enemy thought that they were at a disadvantage and would not dare to attack it. It is this silence in times of war that made it extraordinarily successful.
