NEWLY IDENTIFIED COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES, CHITA AREA, USSR
A search within a 50-nautical-mile (nm)
radius of Chita (52-02N 113-29E) has revealed
5 previously unreported high-frequency (lih)
communications facilities, of which 3 are con-
sidered definite and 2 probable. Brief descrip-
tions of each of these facilities are presented
below. In addition, figure I locates the 5
facilities and, as requested, relates them to
the major known military installations, air-
fields, and transportation and electronic/com-
munications facilities in the Chita area as
observed on recent photography.
Location: 10 nm north of Chita
Coordinates: 52-11-50N 113-28-20E

Description: This facility includes a single
control building surrounded by a large antenna
farm that contains an undetermined number of
rhombic, horizontal dipole, and other, uniden-
tified types of antennas. The entire area is
enclosed by a single security fence, and there
are 10 support buildings within the secured
area.
Probable Communications Facility (item 18, Figure 11
Location: 5.8 nm north of Chita
Coordinates: 52-07-SON 113-29-30E

Description: Lnclosed by a single security
fence, this facility consists of a L'-shaped
probable control building, 2 support buildings,
and a probable antenna farm. Identification
of the facility is based on the similarity of
its layout to that of other known l1P communi-
cations facilities although no actual antennas
or guy anchor positions are visible.
A support area consisting of 9 buildings
is situated immediately to the northeast of the
security fence and probably serves as ::uppo)rt
for the nearby Chita Airfield.
