 This joint photographic intelligence report has been prepared by the
Army, Navy, and Central Intelligence Agency, under CIA chairmanship,
in answer to requirements requesting an analysis of microwave facilities
within a 50-nautical-mile radius of Moscow. Distances used in this report
are from the Kremlin, and have been expressed in kilometers to facilitate
all microwave stations for convenient map and table reference.:
graphic and UTM coordinates are given for station locations!
coordinates are from AMS map Series N501, scale 1:250,000.

stations Station 22 at Domoderlovo _! me Ina Farm, Station 40 at Vnukovo
Airfield, and Station 55 in Moscow.
The following is a description of some of the various types of micro-
wave masts, towers, and antennas in the Moscow area identified from ground
photography. One type of microwave equipment frequently seen on this
photography is the Strela-M, which is capable of handling 24 telephone
channels. A Strela-M relay station usually includes a self-supporting
steel tower and two circular flat-surfaced reflectors suspended from a
platform mounted on the top of the tower (see photograph, Figure 1A).
The reflectors are inclined at an angle of 45 degrees and are oriented in
opposite directions. On the grout b and immediately below the circular
reflectors are two parabolic reflectors inclined at 45 degrees. Located
on a line-of-sight to the parabolic reflectors are two horn-type antennas
which project from a nearby building that houses the radio-relay apparatus
(see photograph, Figure 1B). Strela-M equipment has been identified along
the routes of most of the reported Moscow links.
Equipment used at Station 26 includes two circular flat-surface
reflectors and two corner reflectors supported by a self-supporting steel

 tower. The circular reflectors are mounted near the top of the tower, and
the corner reflectors are mounted below the top. One circular reflector
is attached directly to the tower, and the other is supported by two steel
arms extending about off the side of the tower. Both circular
reflectors are oriented in the same direction. The two corner reflectors
are stacked one above the other and are oriented in the opposite direction

Station 26, located north of Detkovo -.
Station 21, near Borisovo, employs a parabolic open-mesh reflector
and two horn and lens reflectors mounted on top of a self -supporting
steel tower. In addition, the station has an antenna of a type not previously
noted, consisting of a vertical V-shaped mesh reflector mounted on one side
of the tower and extending down the entire side. This antenna is reported
to be a forward scatter antenna, but it may be a stacked corner reflector
(see photograph, Figure 3). Station 60 has two large reflectors mounted
side by side atop the clock tower of the university (see photographs, Figure
4). These two reflectors are oriented toward Station 42, which has two
similar horn and lens reflectors mounted atop a building near Kobyakovo

"goalpost" antenna array and a circular microwave reflector inclined at a
45-degree angle and mounted on one side of a guyed steel tower. Other
types of microwave equipment noted in the Moscow area are stacked dipoles
with plane reflectors- (see photograph, Figure 6) and solid parabolic
reflectors (see photograph, Figure 7).
