Default Mystery abandoned military site at Baykonur

whether it might be associated with the
now-abandoned SAM sites, or even nuclear
weapons storage.


There's no way to make a guess - as there's no photo's of anything
resembling an operational area. A barracks/wall/gate looks pretty
much the same regardless of what the facility is.

Translations of the book titles at

and

And the signage at

and

might help. As would any overheads.
