RADIO VAN TRUCK WITH TALL RODS ANTENNA SYSTEM, USSR
ABSTRACT
1. This report discusses a new-type probable R-100 series radio van truck when it is seen with
the TALL RODS antenna system. This report also includes a location map, two annotated
photographs of the vehicle, and photographic references.
BASIC DESCRIPTION
2. High-resolution imagery of the following USSR installations has revealed that the new-
type probable R-100 series radio van truck was deployed with a TALL RODS antenna system. The
installations (Figure 1) are Nebit Dag Army Barracks AL 1 , Tashkent Military 25X1
Radcom Receiver Station Osh Army Barracks AL 1/SAM Support 25X1
Facility/Reserve Equipment Depot and Arsenyev Radcom Receiver Station DF 25X1
Support 25X1
3. The chamfer-bodied, URAL-375-type probable radio van truck was identified for the first
time at Sumber Suma Army Barracks AL 2 in Mongolia. The 25X1
van boy is characterized by a predominant, light-toned C shape on its roof, probably due to
stretched canvas.
4. the new-type probable radio van truck was observed connected by 25X1
cable to a SQUARE FOUR antenna set in the barracks training area of Nebit Dag. Also, two sets of
TALL RODS, a SPIKE TWO-type trailer, and a van truck were observed. 25X1
the new vehicle was seen at this facility (Figure 2) connected by cable to a TALL RODS set and to a
double-axled van trailer. A small building next to the radio van truck was also connected by cable to
the TALL RODS, the van trailer, and to an unidentified mast. It was noted that the ZIL-157-type
van truck and the SQUARE FOUR antenna array usually associated with the FULL HOUSE com-
munications intercept direction-finding system* were not present at this sighting.
5. At Tashkent (Figure 3), photography showed a probable diamond-shaped 25X1
antenna on a mast between the cab and van body on the right side of the probable R-100 series radio
The ZIL-1 - ype van truck and the 6QUARE FOUR antenna were not observed on this date. These
two pieces of associated equipment also were not present at Osh However, on 25X1
*The FULL HOUSE communications intercept direction-finding system comprises the SQUARE FOUR and TALL
RODS antennas and a ZIL-157-type van truck.
