Nuclear Silo

A nuclear silo was a large linear enclosed area similar to a tall hanger that was extremely heavily armored, and housed one or more nuclear weapons. They were designed to be armored heavily enough to withstand a direct nuclear weapon hit on their own position, and still be able to fire their own nuclear weapon. During the Great World War II, these silos were primarily buried in the ground to protect the deadly weaponry they contained, and drew a significant amount of power.
