5 Creepiest Secret Soviet Experiments

In the 1930s, the Soviet Union funded the development of a Combat Mole prototype. This complex and powerful drilling machine would be used to burrow underground to breach enemy lines and destroy highly fortified underground infrastructure. The Combat Mole was first designed by the Russian Pyotr Rasskazov in 1904. His design would be used to fight the Great War s trench stalemates, but the Russian retreat in 1918 to fight the Reds in the Civil War left the idea in the past. In the 1960s, during the Cold War and the Arms Race, a new topsecret project was launched to produce a nextgeneration subterranean weapon. This project, actively supported by the Soviet Leader himself, Nikita Khrushchev, was even more secret than the Russian ICBM program.
