Russia s arctic base: The transformation from polar bears to nuclear bombers

During the Cold War, Russia s Nagurskoye airbase was little more than a runway, a weather station and a communications outpost in the Franz Josef Land archipelago. It was a remote and desolate home mostly for polar bears, where temperatures plunge in winter to -42 degrees and the snow only disappears from August to mid-September. Now, Russia s northernmost military base is bristling with missiles and radar and its extended runway can handle all types of aircraft, including nuclear-capable strategic bombers, projecting Moscow s power and influence across the Arctic amid intensifying international competition for the region s vast resources.
