Many imagine command posts without equipment, just a mental frequency amplifier and a scanner searching for missile positions or influencing enemy command decisions.

As a result, Castro and Nikita Khrushchev agreed to install missile batteries in Cuba, both to deter a possible future US invasion and to redress the superiority of US missile deployments.

One of the most notorious of these programmes has been the Saad-16 Project, located in northern Iraq. It cost $250 million and included state-of-the-art facilities dedicated to missile research and development.
