Getting back to the original point (we can keep the historical stuff going by all means, I just figured something out is all), it would seem that there is only one operational GORGON site right now.
Has everyone seen this website:
http://geoengine.nga.mil/geospatial/SW_TOOLS/NIMAMUSE/webinter/rast_roam.htmlGreat site. For our purposes, you want to use the DOI 10 meter imagery. That's as good as you'll get for Moscow. Slightly difficult, but not impossible for our purposes. First, go into Google Earth and examine the site west of Naro Fominsk. That is a GORGON site. How do we tell? Well, the grey strip along the rear of the site where it borders the SA-1 GUILD site is the missile silo area. What you want to do now is focus on the two NE former A-35 sites near Sergiyev Posad and Zhuklino. Notice how the Posad site lacks the characteristic strip, but the Zhuklino site has it. Now here's the key to figuring this all out. Go into NGA's website. Go check out the Zhuklino site and examine the area where the grey strip is in Google Earth. You're looking at eight GORGON silos. Look at the Posad site. No silos, so Posad is not a GORGON site.
There you have it. If the guy who posted the images was actually at the Zhuklino site, then the site is clearly inactive, leaving just one operational GORGON site. Either way, this is visual confirmation that Zhuklino was at one time the NE GORGON site, and not Sergiyev Posad.
