Seeking answers to these questions, the first step is to define the threats that a given type of shelter may face. This is directly related to the purpose of the facility (i.e., what it will be used for and who will be inside) and the strike assets that an enemy might use to target or destroy it. This issue was thoroughly analyzed during the Cold War, resulting in the development of several documents in Poland between 1983 and 1986, which contained technical requirements for both civil and military protective construction. Among these documents, we can list (in order of importance): Resolution of the National Defense Committee No. 05/85 of November 25, 1985 CHEM 330/85 of November 12, 1985, Provisional Detailed Design Principles for Civil Defense Shelters from 1986, Detailed Design and Construction Principles for Protective Shelters from 1983. These documents provided a coherent and comprehensive definition of the protection levels for fortified structures based on their function. This included fortified command posts for authorities at all levels, military facilities, and civil defense protective structures. Naturally, the structures specified in the National Defense Committee's resolution were to have the highest resistance to both conventional weapons and nuclear weapons. ANALYSIS
