    When nazis get desperate, they try out ‘secret weapons’. They’re overpriced, non-effective, and solely used for propaganda.

    Electricity? Sounds like a railgun. Overhyped and an easy target. They can’t even keep tanks in one piece. They can’t protect their SAM systems from airborne threats. I wonder how many ‘points’ a railgun is.

    The exact purpose of this facility remains unknown.

    I was hoping for more clues on that. It sounds like an easy thing to disrupt so I can’t imagine they’d try manufacturing anything. The only thing that makes sense to me would be a distribution point to send the power further on into the Russian grid.

      220kV of unreliable power (how many MW will that be? how many amps can those cables do?) doesn’t seem worth it for adding to the Russian grid. maybe a large stronghold or staging area? radar system or electronic warfare?
