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.
