After the brutal onslaught of ISIS and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Hafez al-Assad, Putin recently unveiled the Russian Ministry of Defense’s brand new, three-tiered, multi-billion-dollar National Control Defense Center. The fortified Control Center was Putin’s first stop after officials confirmed that last month’s Russian charter jet crash, in which 224 were killed, was the result of an act of terrorism. Putin went straight to the center, where cinema sized screens showed long-range strategic bombers taking off from Russian air bases to fly missions to Syria.

The building which was designed to be a new nerve center for the Russian military will coordinate military action around the world, including ballistic missile launches and strategic nuclear deployments.

This immense military command and control headquarters was built incredibly fast, in less than two years. If you think its equivalent to America’s National Military Command Center used by the Pentagon, you’ll be surprised to know that it’s three times bigger and more technologically advanced.  “Russian Defense Data Center Outperforms US Facility Threefold, said an Official.

The center has cost hundreds of billions of dollars, but has also produced noted improvements, from the expertise of Russian troops deployed during the Crimea operation to the recent cruise missile strikes launched from the Caspian Sea.

The new national defense center also includes a helicopter pad that was deployed on the Moscow River late last year and can accommodate Russia’s Mi-8 transport helicopter. In case of a war, it would be the country’s premier communications center, and one Russian commander compared it to the military headquarters of the Soviet Union during World War II.

The center is a step toward “forming a single information space for solving tasks in the interests of the country’s defense. After the war room was revealed, U.S. might have definitely broke a sweat. But it’s the ISIS that should fear the most because Putin isn’t a forgiver.
