PHOTOGRAPHIC SEARCH FOR COMMUNICATION OUTSTATIONS
IN FIVE AREAS OF THE USSR

None of the outstation sites were identified nor was any activity
identified which could be associated with the electronic net in the areas
searched.
The five areas and the results of the photographic search are as
follows.
Belush'ya Guba (71-34N 52-19E) on Novaya Zemlya. Possible locations
for an outstation are (1) the area surrounding the port of Belush'ya Guba
and extending southward 3 nm to an airfield and (2) a possible military area
at 70-50N 53-44 E, approximately 55 nm south-southeast of Belush'ya
Guba along a narrow inlet. However,'" haze, obliquity, and small scale
preclude a detailed photo interpretation of these two areas.
Stanislav (48-56N 24-43E). Although considerable activity was observed
in the area, none could be identified as related to the electric net.
Sukhumi (43-OON 41-02E). Activity observed could not be identified
as associated with the electronic net.

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (46-57N142-44E) on Sakhalin Island. No activity
associated with the electronic net was discerne photography 25X1
covers the area. Recent collateral reveals
the completion of a microwave station at Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk which is
reported linked with the air defense district and zonal communications
center at Sovetskaya Gavan' on the mainland (see Aerospace Intelligence
Digest, Volume 14, No 11, November 1961, SECRET). Since military
communications routes are reportedly used in the Soviet ESV program,
the ESV-associated electronic net could be linked with this new micro-
wave station.
Turkestan Military District. No unusual electronic activity was
observed. Photo coverage
The known military communications cen er
at Tashkent could be associated with this electronic net.
