Explorers entered an underground military facility whose location was not disclosed and found 152-millimeter shells, apparently Soviet rockets, smaller ammunition, howitzer chassis, and objects from the 1980s and 1990s that help reconstruct part of the complex’s history.

The world of abandoned factories gained an unusual record after explorers found ammunition, artillery rockets, and vehicle chassis in an underground facility apparently linked to the military industry of Czechoslovakia. The channel Exploring the Unbeaten Path did not reveal the exact location.

Abandoned factories hold ammunition and vehicles

Entering the complex required a crossing, described as one of the most remarkable points of the exploration. Inside, visitors recorded 152-millimeter artillery shells, smaller cartridges, and structures of self-propelled howitzers.

Among the filmed materials are ammunition that may be of the Model-OF type, used in the Czechoslovak howitzer ShKH vz. 77 DANA and also in the Soviet D-20. These shells used separate loading, with the projectile inserted before the propellant.

The video shows a 1988 calendar and an edition of the newspaper Práca, dated November 18, 1985. The publication was edited in Bratislava by the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement, the official union of communist Czechoslovakia.

The explorers located vehicles with Slovak Army insignia. The structures may belong to the ShKH vz. 77 DANA, introduced in 1980, or the SpGH Zuzana, presented in 1998. Both use 152-millimeter guns and 8×8 Tatra 815 chassis.

The presence of these materials turns the abandoned factories into an unusual record of military production, although the country and address have not been confirmed by the channel.

What caught your attention the most in this exploration: the underground entrance, the preserved ammunition, or the military vehicles? Share your opinion in the comments and also say if places like this should be documented by specialized teams before they suffer deterioration, looting, or definitive interdiction.
