An old underground backup generator for Sweden's biggest airport. It's right outside the airport so while trying to find it I felt a bit suspicious.

This is actually inside and underground, not outdoors.

This is like 70% speculation but this reminds me of abandoned Cold War military sites. In the 1950s there was a period where Sweden was actually serious about national defense. To the point where the CIA considered them as one of the main risks for nuclear proliferation. (Source: My name is "Redactor", I've read the documents.)

Also being at an airbase. If war broke out the Soviets didn't give a shit if it was civilian or in a "neutral" country, they were going to nuke every runway in the Free World. (Sweden also gave the US a list of targets they wanted nuked. Very fascinating behavior from a "neutral" country.) Anyway the point I'm trying to make is that around the 1950s-1960s Russian missiles weren't very accurate. So maybe this is like is Cheyenne Mountain in the USA or countless other places built in the same era. Built for a nuclear war that you could hopefully kinda win before missiles got accurate. People were weird about that back then.
