Moscow Air Defense Radar Sites are located in two concentric rings
around Moscow and comprise a total of 14 Early Warning Radar Installations.
The Inner Ring, approximately 14 nm from the center of the city consists of
four early warning radar sites.

Inner Ring Sites
Detailed photographic analysis of the Inner Ring Sites failed to determine
positive identification of radar equipment at these installations. The previous-
ly reported Radar Order of Battle at these sites could neither be confirmed nor
denied due primarily to the photography. No communication 25X1
facilities were observed at any of these Inner Ring Sites.
Outer Ring Sites

Detailed photographic analysis of the Outer Ring Sites revealed the presence
of a TALL KING Radar t five installations. A TALL KING Radar
is located at Bryansk, Michurinsk and Pravdinsk (Gorkiy) Sites and a TALL KING
signature is evident at Andreapol (Toropets) and Cherepovets Sites. At the
latter two sites the TALL KING Antenna was not actually observed, due to image

limitations. Additional radar equipment could not be identified at the Outer
Ring Sites on i photography.
A TALL KING Radar was reported in the NORAD Weekly Intelligence Report of
23 April 1965, operating at a site 2 kilometers south of the Moscow-Brest High-
way, 398 kilometers from Moscow, the location of Smolensk Early Warning Radar
Site. However, the existence of this TALL KING could not be confirmed.
The Bryansk Early Warning Radar Site was covered on good quality 0 25X1
photography. Identified at this site, in addition to the noted TALL KING Radar,
were 2 probable GAGE-Type Radars, 2 probable PATTY-CAKE Radars, 2 probable FISH
NET IFF, 2 probable KNIFE REST Radars, 1 probable BAR LOCK Radar and 1 probable
TOKEN Radar. Communication facilities identified include 2 Dipole Antennas,
1 Rhombic Antenna and a probable mobile high-frequency communications facility
with 4 probable electronic vans.
Communication facilities observed at the Temnikov Early Warning Radar Site
consist of 1 Rhombic Antenna and 2 probable Dipole Antennas. No apparent changes
appear to have occurred at this site since previously reported in CIA-PIC/R-460.
Positive identification of communication facilities could not be made at
the remaining Outer Ring Sites due to small scale and vegetation, however, the
existence of similar communication facilities can not be negated.
