How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The team crosses snowy Ural peaks to destroy a secret Soviet base hidden at Mount Yamantau, guided from an SR-71 overhead.

The real place

Yamantau is the highest peak of the Southern Urals at 1,640 m. US officials have long suspected a large secret bunker complex inside it, and the nearby town of Mezhgorye is closed.

Visiting

The mountain lies within the South Ural Nature Reserve and the area around Mezhgorye is restricted. Many Western governments currently advise against all travel to Russia.
