Visitors can explore the site, wandering through the rusting structures and imagining the tense atmosphere of those times. The Duga Radar is a testament to the technological advancements and the paranoia of the Cold War era, offering a unique glimpse into the past. For those interested in history and technology, the Duga Radar is a fascinating destination, a reminder of the secrets that once lay hidden in the depths of the Soviet Union.
