Imagine that's Skrunda Latvia ..? Passed through there with my dirt bike & friends a couple years ago, we checked out the former Russian secret radio surveillance site a couple kilometres north of the city, had later lunch in the city & pressed then on to the most eastern part of the country then over to Estonia & back home to Sweden via Tallinn.

Yep, we were there also ... already the first day of our trip as it was so close to Ventspils where we got off the ferry. Think we visited like 30-40 abandoned places, either secret cities or just launch sites for intercontinental missiles. As we was travelling with dirt bikes we could easily access all without drawing to much attention ... it was easy to see when we came close to something military as it suddenly was concrete roads with large radius curves in the middle of the forest ... most probably transport roads for the trucks that should take the missiles from storage to the launch site. Both Latvia & Estonia was amazing to ride through with dirt bikes with all these sandy trails & small gravel roads ... the trip was in total 10 days & we traveled between 250-300km /day.

I would have liked to see a train cross that span as part of the video. The USSR Army Legacy video was really great, I especially loved the narrative, thanks for sharing.
