Launch pads in 2006

Here is some pictures of the launch pad 110 and 250 shot in 2006. To remind you, the 110 area was used to launch Buran in November 15, 1988, whereas the 250 area was used to launch Polyus in May 17, 1987.

Those 2 areas haven’t been used since then and are in a bad shape now.

Area 110:

Nice??????? You mean…sad! Really, really sad! It looks like Mad Max or other post-apocalypse movies. I read somewhere that Pad 250 and its underground facilities were damaged during the first launch of Energia in 1987.
