Norway is reactivating key Cold War-era military bunkers, including the Bardufoss Air Station and Olavsvern naval base, as tensions with Russia escalate. The bunkers, built during the Cold War to protect military assets from Soviet threats, are now being restored to safeguard modern equipment like the F-35 fighter jets and nuclear submarines. Despite the collapse of the Soviet Union, the strategic importance of these facilities near the Arctic Circle remains high. The bunkers, some dating back to World War II, are vital in preparing Norway’s defense infrastructure amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. ( PC: BBC )
