VEHICLES AT THIS RADIO PLANT INDICATES THAT COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT IS INSTALLED IN THESE VEHICLES HERE. THIS IS
EVIDENCE OF POLISH EFFORTS TOWARD PRODUCING INDIGENOUS
COMMAND, CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS. THE PRESENCE OF
THE OT-65 SUGGESTS THAT A PROBABLE COMMAND VARIANT OF THIS
VEHICLE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT.
(SWN) A COLLATERAL SOURCE INDICATED THAT UAZ-469'S WITH
R-107, R-123 AND R-130 RADIOS ARE PRODUCED AT WARSAW
AUTOFACTORY IM. KASPRZAKA. ALTHOUGH THE ANTENNAS FOR THESE
RADIOS CAN NOT BE IDENTIFIED ON THE UAZ-469'S AT WARSZAWA

SUGGESTS THAT THIS IS THE PLANT MENTIONED IN THE COLLATERAL
