E. NUMBER: NA WAG NUMBER : 167, 168 PHOTO DATA. REFERENCES: Sino-Soviet Bloc Microwave Systems, SCIA, May 1956 REQUIREMENT RR/HTA/E/Rl2/57: Locate microwave towers and a coaxial cable trench with relay stations, possibly situated along the highway or rail line between Moscow and Brest. No microwave towers, coaxial cable trenches, or relay stations can be identified along the highway and railroad right-of-way between Moscow and .Brest. The scale of this photography generally precludes identification of most electronic installations with the exception of antenna farms unless collateral information narrows the search to a fairly limited area, and sun angle and light intensity are optimum. Even though collateral reports helped to pinpoint one probable microwave site the area was searched with negative results The scale and resolution of this photography does not permit dis- tinction of a covered trench which might carry coaxial cable, from an :im-'. mediat'ely a:dja'cent rail line or road.
