Since the start of the war in Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threats regarding nuclear weapons, the demand for private shelters has increased in the United States.
“Doomsday Shelters”, this is how a company in the US state of Texas calls it, and they use 100% steel in their construction and are buried underground at a depth of more than 3 meters and are protected from bombs.
company “Rising SShe has been building shelters for more than 20 years, and says that the demand for her shelters has increased in less than two weeks by about 10 times since the Russian army entered Ukraine.
The company’s general manager, “Gary Lynch”, says in statements to local media, that his phone has not stopped ringing since the entry of Russian forces into Ukraine.
“The callers were from inside and outside the US from countries like the UK, Italy, Denmark and Canada. The callers asked for more information about the shelters and of course their prices.”
Rising S sells shelters for prices ranging from $40,000 up to more than $8 million.
In accordance with the financial capabilities of the customer, such shelters are equipped. Some of them can have bedrooms, gyms, elevators, swimming pools, saunas, theaters, shooting ranges and bowling alleys. Some of them have a capacity of about 44 people.
The company says its clients include celebrities from politics, art, sports and technology companies, and the Ukrainian military, which has been selling these shelters since 2019.
