JACK ANDERSON'S WASHINGTON LETTER
June 1986 Vol. III, No.11
U.S. spy satellites can keep their eyes on the smallest
details of Soviet military activity. TRUE.
A recent National Security Council report, stamped "Secret,"
gives an idea of how specific the CIA's information from its
spy satellites can be: The Soviets have developed what the
West refers to as "Flat Twin" radars that could conceivably
serve as anti-ballistic missile detectors. It has three of
them, all built at the Sary Shagan test area in Central Asia.
The first radar stayed where it was. But the CIA satellites
recorded every stage of the second one's 3,600-mile move
across Siberia to the Kamchatka Peninsula on the Pacific
Ocean. The third was built to replace the one that was moved.
