Russian Strategic Defense - Part 2, The ABM Network
Hi Sean! Meanwhile we have Klin Site on High Res (see kosmosnimki.ru) which confirms that this site never was re-equipped with 51T6. No silos are visible. short question: was there a pre-production Radar or second set for 5K17 and could it been left at Sary Shagan Site 35? Cheers from "Rambo"
Thanks Sean! Bought a commercial sat pic of site 35. There seems to be a radar much like tho one you found at Kamchatka at 46°26'21.61"N 72°50'51.02"E. BTW: the 53T6 test silos (there are two of them) are at 46°26'36.55"N 72°50'58.14"E and 46°26'36.13"N 72°51'1.00"E. Cheers
well done, Sean...at the moment the best summarized source for that topic

There were multiple 5K17s built (the RSN-225 for those not aware) and yes, one of them may still be at Sary Shagan.

Any chance you can e-mail me the image? I'd love to give it a once-over and see what I can ID.
