Museum G.O.R.A. Zone VIII Naval location. Small pond.
Not every time I visited here I managed to get to this location. Most often, I turned around tiredly and, on wooden legs, walked to the metro.
Starting post: Poklonnaya Hill. Introduction.
Previous post: Museum G.O.R.A. Zone VII Partisan location.
And even if I did get there, due to my landlocked nature, I didn’t pay enough attention.
Having emerged from the partisan thicket, you discover this lake pastoral.
However, we won’t go to the water yet. We’ll walk along the shore, turning left, as most normal men do.
If earlier the main driving force in the navy was sails, now it’s propellers. We’ll start with them.
It is interesting that I never found exhibits #1 and #2 of this location. I will have to look for them on my next visit.
In the meantime, let’s walk along the line of naval artillery installations.
The last one can be easily missed: either it was well camouflaged from the start, or it has been here for a long time and has become overgrown.
Looking back,
you involuntarily notice something global on the other bank.
Looking at this, you involuntarily wonder: what kind of cannon should go with this barrel? Immediately, turning 180 degrees, you get a complete and exhaustive idea about this!
And now we can go to the water.
In the first, smaller pond, are presented:
torpedo boat and
submarine conning tower.
On the other side of the pond, we didn’t look at a few more exhibits:
torpedo tube
and the torpedoes themselves for it.
The most attentive could notice a match hidden under the barrel, which was actually not a small anchor.
On the way back I couldn’t resist admiring all this splendor once more against the backdrop of the Memorial Mosque!
