Russia is building a fortress at the top of the world. Welcome to Nagurskoye Air Base — 80° north, on the edge of the Arctic. Here, MiG-31 interceptors roar through blizzards, S-500 Prometey missiles guard the sky, and nuclear icebreakers carve through three-meter ice to keep the empire supplied. Over fifty military sites now span Russia’s Arctic frontier — radar domes, runways, and missile hubs watching every move from the Barents to the Bering Sea.
In this video, we explore how Moscow turned the Arctic into a front line: MiG-31BM and future MiG-41 interceptors patrolling the pole, S-400 and S-500 batteries shielding the airspace, and Tu-142 bombers securing the Northern Sea Route. With 13 % of the world’s undiscovered oil and 30 % of its natural gas beneath the ice, the stakes are enormous. The Cold War didn’t end here — it just froze solid.
Discover the systems, the strategy, and the price behind Russia’s Arctic Superbase.
