On January 10, 2014, the construction of the National Library of Latvia was completed. After reviewing a selection of photographs of this building, a specialist in multifunctional radar technology (including systems using phased arrays) unequivocally answered the question of the likelihood of using this structure for military purposes.
To his arguments, he added information about the oddities with the placement of power substations under the library, from which electrical cables with a cross section of more than 20 centimeters lead to the very top of the building, to the premises already rented by the American embassy. Plus - the geographical location of the "Castle of Light" also plays an important role.
The contours of the Castle of Light, according to some experts, are very reminiscent of a radar station (radar) for early warning and tracking. Is it possible that the new building of the National Library of Latvia (LNL) is hiding a powerful locator? Technically - perhaps, say the experts interviewed.
“There is clearly something unclean with the Castle of Light,” says economist Evgenia Zaitseva. - All familiar engineers suspect that this is a radar station (radar). LNL just has a form that fits into such a view. Any building under construction now has an underground parking lot. And here - no. The purpose of the minus the first floor is officially described, but I believe that there are much more floors below the "waterline".
I will try to substantiate my point of view.
Once in the archive I came across a curious fact: at the beginning of 1992, Godmanis took the first loan from the IMF, One of the documents is a letter reminder from the IMF that you, they say, having received a loan, pledged to raise the rent from September 1, 1992 payment from 40 kopecks to 4 rubles 10 kopecks and 46 (!) times to raise the fee for hot water and increase the heating fee. Under these obligations, we were supplied with food, humanitarian aid, and various equipment. This was apparently the original portion of the G-24 loan. I also found a tough contract for 10 years.
However, we ate this loan safely, and we were surprisingly forgiven. I thought: what if we were forgiven for it because Latvia bound itself with the condition for the construction of the Castle of Light? At that time there were advisers behind Godmanis, and many of them were from American Latvians. A lot of documents on the Castle of Light - signed by Godmanis. He could make a commitment, and then this inhuman penetration began with the help of Demakova.
Promotional video:
- Rumors about the dual purpose of the object appeared immediately, - confirms the deputy of the Seimas Alexander Sakovsky. - Any person with a military education cannot fail to notice that the outline of the Castle of Light looks very much like a radar of the latest generation. Radar in this case is a conventional designation, since early detection and tracking systems can have different names and visual expressions, but the fact that in our case, most likely, there is no smoke without fire, I am almost convinced. Maybe this is where the legs of the idea of the library's self-sufficiency grow, and the government has in mind alternative sources of covering expenses, which it does not report to the common man in the street?
Building layout
What do techies think? We turned to the former military radio engineer Vladimir Shirin with the question: is it possible, at least theoretically, to assume such a function of the Castle of Light, and is its configuration really similar to a secret object?
“I don’t even want to think about what it’s like,” said Shirin. - The architecture of the building is distinctly similar to a military facility. In theory, the shape is very similar to early warning radar - 10,000 km or more.
The so-called phased array antennas just resemble solar panels in shape and size, only slightly thicker. I emphasize, again purely theoretically, you can put antenna panels on the roof, and the more there are, the more accurate the targets. If you lay a straight line across the globe, a conventional radar would look exactly at Iran. But the radar can look another 70 degrees to the left and 70 degrees to the right. The first in sight are Russia and Belarus. And according to the rules for installing the radar, water is needed nearby to cool powerful transmitters. Water please - Daugava.
All radars should have one wall with a slope - there are antennas. Earlier antennas rotated, but now new technologies: they simply lie still, like pieces of foam for building insulation. The tiles are laid side by side, they are connected and a radio beam is obtained inside, and it is controlled electronically. And these tiles are disguised as a roof - no one will pay attention to them. To service the antennas and transmitters of a radar station, no more than a dozen people are needed, and for information processing there is usually a separate object - 2-4 km from the antenna. There already need about a hundred people - to serve such a monster.
Any building under construction now has an underground parking lot. And here it is not planned, which is strange. It can be assumed that the basement is needed for some reason. But in theory, powerful emergency generators would be good for minus 2-3 floors. Because if this is a station, and if it is launched, then it will consume a lot of electricity. Hundreds of kilowatts, megawatts … On the other hand, if they let a station into the library, the heating will actually be free of charge: powerful transmitters will be enough to heat the entire building.
But because of the strong radiation, people will immediately begin to feel bad. Usually such things are placed at a distance of 50-100 km from the city. In the Czech Republic, a radar station is being built now, as it is located 90 km from Prague. True, she has a different range, smaller. Yes, the West really needs a more powerful radar. Of course, there is an abundance of idiocy in our country, but in order to allow such a construction in the center of the capital of a European country? Theoretically, this is quite possible, but in practice - somehow I don't want to believe …
But the dean of the Faculty of Electronic Communications of RTU, Professor Guntars Balodis, believes that such rumors are based solely on the architecture of the Castle of Light.
- The very configuration of the building is somewhat reminiscent of the former locator in Skrunda, - he admitted in a conversation with the Open City. - One side of the building is inclined, the other is more straight, so someone fantasized. The Latvian National Library is a reinforced concrete building. Electronic installations, including locators, cannot be inside a reinforced concrete structure, they must be located outside. If we do not observe any setting from the outside, then it is not there.
