Shipka is a small Russian military base that serves the Soviet-installed Dnepr radar and located near the city of Mukachevo (just outside of a small villege of Shenborn) in Ukraine. Since 2009 the base was supposedly closed down by the Russian authorities who refused to continue paying for land-lease.[1]
