Attractions of Golovanivskyi district

The Museum of Strategic Missile Forces in Pobuzhsky near Pervomaisk is unique and has no analogues in the world. The top-secret launch position of intercontinental ballistic missiles, which has been completely preserved since the Cold War, is open for visitors. The museum was established in 2001 on the basis of the disbanded 309th Regiment of the 46th Missile Division. The complex consists of a mine launcher RS-22A (SS-24 "Scalpel"), a unified underground command post, power unit, refrigeration center, barracks, security and utility rooms. On the territory you can see samples of rocket engines, rocket trucks, refueling tanks for rocket fuel, a model of a nuclear warhead, as well as R-12 and RS-20 missiles (SS-18 "Satan"). Excursions are conducted by officers who previously served on this base. By separate agreement, you can go down to the underground command post at a depth of 30 meters, where there was a "nuclear button".
