Russian Strategic Defense - Part 1, The S-300P SAM Family
Hi, Could you please make a full IMINT analysis (like you do it with arrows and notes) to a site described last in this post (coordinates 59°29'11.00"N, 28°49'16.00"E). Thanks...
That is a two-battery S-300PM-1 SAM site. For a little bit of information, there is an article on this site dealing with S-300P family SAM sites in particular.
After a quick glance, I can tell you that there are 24 5P85T towed TELs, two 30N6-1 engagement radars, two 5N66M low-altitude acquisition radars mounted on 40V6 masts, and one 64N6 EW radar present at the site.
If you'd like a graphic, fire me an e-mail, and I'll send one back to you with a lot of the components labeled.
In the part 1, S-300PM (SA-10B GRUMBLE) section, just above the image you say:
ReplyDelete"The following image depicts an S-300PMU near Minsk in the Ukraine."
I'd expect that someone who messes around with GE so much knows the difference between Kiev and Minsk...
Thanks for catching that. I uploaded the wrong file! I'll change the name in the article.
