| Blooming in the Arctic: Russian military show off advanced Northern Clover base in DRONE OVERFLIGHT | |
| (about 8 hours later) | |
| The Russian military is upgrading its Arctic infrastructure, creating new bases and modernizing those already in place. A fresh video shows the technologically-advanced Northern Clover facility in Yakutia. | |
| The base became operational in 2015 and is manned by 250 troops, supporting military operations on Kotelny Island, one of the New Siberian archipelagos off the northern coast of Russia. | |
| There is also the Temp military airfield and a radar station on the island. | |
| Northern Clover is the less-flashy cousin of the Arctic Trefoil, a base located some 1,900km (1180 miles) to the west of it on the Franz Josef Land. It doesn’t feature the pod-like auxiliary structures like the other facility, but otherwise shares the trilinear layout. | |
| It is based on the same underlying technology, which allows for comfortable living in the Arctic conditions with minimum impact on its fragile environment, and if necessary can remain in full autonomy from supply lines for a year. | It is based on the same underlying technology, which allows for comfortable living in the Arctic conditions with minimum impact on its fragile environment, and if necessary can remain in full autonomy from supply lines for a year. |
| Previous reports showed the base from air, but this is the first to give a more detailed look into how the extraordinary base operates day-to-day. | |
