Where did you see the pictures? Buddy of mine posted them on instagram with another friend of his. They were in an out of a ZSU and some other AA missile carrier. All well maintained (at least on the outside) minus a light covering of snow. Unfortunately they are kinda tight lipped about the location, so either they weren't supposed to be there or they don't want the location to get out. I have considered calling the Eielson provost marshall and asking about them, but that would just be a weird conversation

The Yukon Training Area (YTA) has some Russian vehicles / radars scattered throughout. If you go in on Johnson road, you will find the first few next to firebird assault strip. Make sure that every adult in the vehicle has a Fort Wainwright RAP pass and is signed in. Wainwright owns the training lands behind Eielson.
I believe I know the picture you just saw (we have some of the same friends on social media), and that was the ZSU right off firebird assault strip. That's by no means a hidden spot, anyone who has driven into the YTA has seen that. |

Kinda gave me an idea for a photoshoot come summer if I can get permitting for it. Doesn't seem too difficult to get to, so I'll have to get a pass and try it out sometime. I have some awesome ideas in mind. 
Thank you

I just emailed the PWO guys about any special permitting since my ideas might take an afternoon and a truck or two of people and gear come summer. Don't want to push any buttons by having that much camera gear for a semi commercial photo shoot out there
Would kinda suck that my first self planned shoot gets me fined or something.

Mostly was wondering if there was any extra permitting for a (semi) professional photo shoot out there. Now I just need to figure out who's butt I have to kiss to be allowed to take helicopter photos from Montgomery rd or the like. But that's mostly me going 'ooh shiny' lol |

YTA's got a ton of cool stuff. Going there when I was stationed at Wainwright in the Infantry was like going to Disneyland. They used to have a huge Russian rocket I assume was for the jets to mock bomb. You'll get some awesome photos there, for sure.
