I remember this for sale a while back. I wouldn't want to live in that little roundtop quanset hut. On 23 acres. That's what we have. I can't imagine fitting a large missile silo here, although we do have three silos.

I think late last year I watch documentary on a Atlas Missile site turned into Prepper's paradise.
But I was thinking it was further north than Kansas.
I do believe it was entire decommissioned Army base.

What if N Korea or whoever has an old map of all the missile locations?

The missiles themselves were stores in a horizontal position in a small coffinlike area inside the silos. At launch, the concrete roof of the silo was rolled back, and the missile was put into a vertical position.

Not all missiles are ICBM's.
The ones that flip up are 'ballistic missiles', and there are a lot of them.
The property for sale is where some were.

The nuclear ICBM's are stored in vertical in-ground silos.
Most were decommissioned after the cold war ended... but not all of them.

For the U.S., many ICBM silos were closed and dismantled, while other aspects of the Nuclear Triad were toned down via the START treaty and others. This leaves the public wondering — how many ICBMs do the U.S. Air Force currently have and operate? The number is surprising, as the U.S. has 450 ICBM silos in operation 24/7.
