Inside the secret £3billion bunker dug 920-feet into a mountain to protect former Yugoslav leader Josip Tito from nuclear attacks

Bunker was dug into a mountain outside Konjic, 25 miles south of Sarajevo in modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina
The complex was designed to allow 350 people to live and work for six months without ever coming up for air
Communist Yugoslavia's Josip Tito ordered the building of the bunker, spanning 6,500 square metres, in 1953
The bunker was designed to safeguard the country's ruling classes in case of a nuclear attack

Dug deep into a mountain which took 26 laborious years to construct at an astronomical cost of more than £3billion, this bunker is an abandoned relic of the former republic of Yugoslavia.
The extensive 920 foot-deep U-shaped complex is dug into a mountain outside Konjic, 25 miles south of Sarajevo in modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Communist Yugoslavia's leader Josip Tito ordered the building of the bunker in 1953 to safeguard the country's ruling classes in case of a nuclear attack.
The complex, spanning 6,500 square metres, was designed to allow 350 people to live and work for six months without ever coming up for air. It had its own generators, water supply and air-conditioning system.
The existence of this atomic shelter that could withstand a nuclear attack strength of 20 kilotons - far more powerful than ones that were dropped on Hiroshima - was known only to Tito, his closest confidantes and and the handful of soldiers guarding it.

Wow, Tito, you sure planned for the future!

20 kilotons? LOL

Never can be overly prepared.

Never can be overly prepared.

I was being sarcastic. 20,000 tons, about 5,000 tons more than Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

The first prototype hydrogen (fission-fusion) bomb was 245,000 tons (245 kilotons) in 1951, and the first full-scale H-bomb was 10,400,000 tons (10.4 megatons) in 1952.

Apparently, Tito's intel was way out of date.

no, but it is good cover to siphon from all the contracts

Think about it, if this is what some tin-pot dictator could build over 50 years ago, what must the top predators of USA have available to them?

The bunker was designed to safeguard the country's ruling classes in case of a nuclear attack ... as we stand out in the cold
