In this Deconstructed video, we take a look inside the Titan II Missile Silo, one of the most advanced underground launch complexes of the Cold War. Built in the early 1960s, these massive bunkers were designed to house the LGM-25C Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile, a massive two-stage liquid-fueled rocket armed with a 9-megaton nuclear warhead.Each complex consisted of three main sections: a missile silo where the missile was stored and kept ready to launch, a launch control center where crews monitored and executed launch orders, and an access portal connecting the two through a network of reinforced tunnels. Hidden beneath the surface, these hardened structures were engineered to survive a nearby nuclear blast while maintaining constant readiness.The Titan II represented a major leap in America’s nuclear deterrent. Unlike earlier missiles like the Atlas F and Titan I, which had to be raised before launch, it could fire directly from within its silo in under a minute. Decommissioned and replaced by the Minuteman missile in the 1980s, only one Titan II still remains today at the Titan Missile Museum in Arizona, preserved as a reminder of an era defined by tension, fear, and extraordinary engineering.We’ve created a Titan II Missile Silo poster inspired by this video, one of our most detailed yet.
