ABSTRACT
This report locates and describes 15 television/ microwave facilities comprising
three microwave relay lines which link the city of Sverdlovsk with Tyumen to the
east, Kurgan to the southeast, and Chelyabinsk to the south.
INTRODUCTION
Collateral reports have indicated the existence of microwave relay lines extend-
ing from Chelyabinsk north to Sverdlovsk, from Chelyabinsk east to Kurgan, from
Tyumen south to Kurgan, and from Tyumen west to Sverdlovsk. A search of
photography reveals the presence of 1) a television/ microwave line extending
from Sverdlovsk east to Tyumen, 2) a television/ microwave line extending from
Sverdlovsk southeast to Kurgan where a television/microwave transmitting tower
is located, and 3) a microwave relay line extending from Sverdlovsk south to
Chelyabinsk (Figure 1). No evidence is found of a line from Tyumen to Kurgan
or from Chelyabinsk to Kurgan.

BASIC DESCRIPTION
25X1 D
25X1A
25X1 D
The following are the only communications or electronics facilities observed
in the search area. Tower heights are considered accurate to within plus or minus
20 feet. The orientation of the microwave elements cannot be determined from the
photography. Photographs of representative installations are shown in Figure 2.
2. Bazhenovo Microwave Facility
56-43-15N 061-21-10E
This facility is secured and consists of one 250-foot self-supporting
lattice-type microwave tower, a control building, and two support
buildings. The small scale of the photography precludes identification
of microwave elements.
3. Kamyshlov Microwave Facility
56-51-05N 063-43-02E
25X1A
25X1 D
25X1A
25X1 D
This secured area contains one self-supporting lattice-type tower and one
support building. The small scale of the photography precludes
determination of tower height and identification of microwave elements.
4. Troitskiy Microwave Facility
57-03-40N 063-47-40E
This secured facility consists of one self-supporting lattice-
type microwave tower and one control building. The small scale
of the photography precludes determination of tower height and
identification of microwave elements.

5. Tyumen Probable TV/Microwave Facility
57-13-20N 065-29-55E
This area is secured and contains one probable self-supporting
microwave tower, a probable control building, and one support
building. The interpretability of the photography is not good
enough for positive identification of the facility.
6. Loginovo Microwave Facility
56-35-30N 061-18-35E
This secured area contains one 315-foot self-supporting lattice-
type microwave tower, a control building, and one support building.
The small scale of the photography precludes identification of
microwave elements.
7. Kamensk-Uralskiy Microwave Facility
56-26-05N 061-50-15E
This secured facility consists of one 265-foot self-supporting
lattice-type microwave tower, one control building, and one support
building. The small scale of the photography precludes identification
of microwave elements.
8. Dalmatovo Microwave Facility
56-15-45N 062-50-OOE
The area is secured and contains one 185-foot self-supporting
lattice-type microwave tower, one control building, and two support
buildings. The small scale of the photography precludes identification
of microwave elements.

with four possible buildings. The small scale of the photography
precludes identification of microwave elements.
