Круть, особенно водяной ров в пустыне! Думаю, что фэйк.
Да нет, Владимир Иванович, похоже не фэйк. Очень много современных снимков из космоса. А насчет рва источник говорит следующее: The area at the time of construction was much lusher but has suffered from extreme desertification in recent decades. But there was a source of water near where the Murengaole River (West River) and Emunagaole River (East River) flow. The water table was high and the moats would just about fill themselves once built.

Ответ выше - не из скважин, а из рек.
Очень интересные формы китайских the moated fortress, что-то смутно мне напоминают)))

Here is the associated text: The majority of these fortress has been abandoned, only a few remain as a warehouse, and tourist attractions.
Fact, more than the edge of the desert, the Beijing-Tianjin region is also distributed a number of similar military fortifications are these man-made mountain and above the Lin Biao and whimsical masterpiece in 1971 after the death of Lin Biao barrier Mountain Project "to stop.
Of course, a different discourse, said that the artificial hill built by Mao Zedong's instructions, but asked the man-made mountain is indeed the Vice Chairman Lin.
-------------------------------------------- According to Mao's instructions, China the army began to heap leading to the plains of Mongolia built just like a huge bunker Man-made mountain, in order to resist the Soviet tanks. These man-made mountain design Each 20 to 40 meters high, positive and 250 to 400 meters wide, the depth of $ 20 to $ 20 m astronomical sum of money voted into the stone and earth from the distance shipped, in the mountains to establish a steel and concrete fortifications. who have seen these mountain people, including former U.S. Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger (James R. Schlesinger,) thought that rely on this several solitary The artificial hill to block the Soviet tanks in-depth, wide front of attack impossible. later this works let the matter rest.
From the "Mao: The Unknown Story"
Su Yu know their suspicions and doubts are justified, inspection, he further feel metaphysics, idealism and extreme leftist ideas, have a great impact and destruction in the military field, reflected not only in the field of military thinking, but also fallen victim to the national defense construction national defense projects. He saw a region Engineering of man-made mountain, the seven man-made mountain, placed closer to a place away from the cutting-edge, away from the rear of relying on, the garrison direction is not right. He ever more worried about, the state has spent a large amount of capital, the majority of commanders and fighters of painstaking labor, but this artificial mountain project in terms of strategic or tactical point of view, and placement are wrong. The idea of the formation of these errors tend to come from above. He believes that metaphysics, idealism is the serious hazards of the military and national defense construction, should arouse the central attaches great importance.
From Su Yu Biography
In May 1967, the Corps of Engineers hosted in Beijing convened heap Hill Engineering Conference, study and formulate the "man-made mountain engineering tactics technical requirements (draft)",
according to this "request", the artificial mountain is to defend the coastal mountains, to defend the plain transport hub and strategic points, to defend the backbone of the fortifications of the big cities, mainly for long-range artillery trial, and every mountain tube of 40-50 km. Therefore, the distance between the two artificial hill can not be too close to the cross Lee gunfire. Construction of connection between mountains fortifications, configuration, small and medium artillery. Artificial mountain and connected fortifications rely on each other to connect the fortifications to cover man-made mountain. The artificial hill also assume the role of artillery observation and command posts, once the enemy crossed, but also as an artillery fortress to stay behind enemy lines. An artificial hill to configure a garrison camp, including a long-range artillery battery (4-6 guns); 1-2 garrison and even (with light anti-tank weapons, antiaircraft weapons, and other infantry weapons); wartime enter an artillery command structure.The total strength of about 300-500 people. Artificial mountain Yamagata diamond unimodal or bimodal oval at altitudes of 20-40 m, the front width of 250-400 m, 120-220 m depth. Tunnel axis length of 600-1000 m, Keng Daokou 6-10. The fortifications requirements to 500-1000 pounds of blasting cartridge able to withstand a direct hit. Internal requirements of the natural ventilation, electricity and water supply.
That is all I have to go on for now after about 10 years of searching, and none of the image or text links survive.
http://googleearthcommunity.proboards.com/thread/722/moated-fortresses-general-lin-biao#ixzz5HXR5sSvWДля второй половины ХХ века данные сооружения, скажем осторожно, не совсем характерны. Очень интересно выслушать мнение коллег про "крепости со рвом генерала Лин Бяо".
