ABSTRACT
This report locates and describes ten microwave facilities along a line between
Ashkhabad and Bukhara, USSR.
INTRODUCTION
Information obtained from Soviet 25X1
data has indicated the existence of a mainline television/microwave route from
Ashkhabad to Bukhara (Figure 1). A search made from photography 25X1
of the area reveals the presence of several microwave facilities between Ashkha-
bad and Bayram-Ali. A search of the area between Bayram-Ali and Bukhara results
in the confirmation of a television/microwave facility at Chardzhou and the iden-
tification of a probable microwave facility at Khumin. Photography searched in
this area was 80-percent cloud-free and of fair-to-good interpretability.
