In 2019, a British man took a drone to Albania, known as the "Kingdom of Bunkers", to explore. Suddenly, a picture came from the drone: there are dozens of fighters parked on the mountain, and there seems to be a cave in the mountain!
The man, William, was an explorer who had long been interested in Albania, the "land of mountain eagles". During the expedition, many remains of pillboxes were discovered, and it is said that there are more than 170,000 of them.
What William didn't expect was that when he used drones to take aerial photos, he made new discoveries. This made him excited and decided to climb up the mountain to investigate the field.
William found a guide in the area, and the two soon arrived at the location of the plane filmed by the drone. He was immediately shocked: dozens of fighters stopped on either side of a concrete road, and at the end of the road, there were indeed two caves.
There was a huge iron gate at the entrance of the cave, and William decided to go inside to see what was going on. The guide told him that it was an abandoned underground hangar, built in the sixties and seventies of the last century.
This hangar is completely hollowed out of the mountain. Hidden in underground hangars, warplanes are protected from conventional weapons and are the best shelter for warplanes.
Walking into this hangar, it is very spacious, and it is full of various types of fighters, including dozens of J-6 and J-7 fighters, as well as helicopters, trucks and so on. However, these equipment are already rusty and cannot fly into the blue sky.
The guide also told him that in Albania, there are more than 40 such underground hangars, all of which were built with the help of Albania by China.
After the 90s, the Albanian Air Force had to abandon these bases due to financial constraints and other reasons. Over time, the airfield, which witnessed the rise and fall of the Albanian Air Force, was dilapidated.
It can be said that these old fighters sealed in the base may be the few "cold war witnesses" in the world who have not entered the international trading market.
Over time, the maintenance of the aircraft in the hangar was worrying, and some parts were stolen. William also couldn't help but sigh: It's really a pity that these planes were abandoned! #Old Photos##我要上微头条 #
