INTRODUCTION
3. The facilities of the Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces (SRF) command and control network
can he grouped into four general categories: National-level facilities, Army-level facilities, ICBM complex
communications facilities, and IR/MRBM complex communications facilities. Typically, SRF Army-level
command and control communications facilities consist of a command post hunker with a contiguous
receiving antenna field and a remote transmitter facility. This report describes the Armv-level transmitter
facilities identified at Chita, Omsk, Orenburg, Smolensk, Vinnitsa, and Vladimir (Figure 1). Each of these
SRF army locations consists of one transmitter facility with the exception of Vinnitsa which consists of
two. The most recently constructed transmitter facility at Vinnitsa, Vinnitsa SRI Army Headquarters
Radio (Rad) Transmitter (Xmtr)/Bunker, probably replaced the Vinnitsa SRF Armv/Long-range Avia-
tion (I RA) Radio Communications (Radcom) Xrntr Station as the primary transmitter for the Vinnitsa
SRF Armv. The older facility, however, may still function as an alternate transmitter for the SRF since no
antenna modifications or removals have been observed.
4. 0) With the exception of the older Vinnitsa SRF Army/LRA Radcom Xnitr Station, all of the
Armv-level transmitter facilities are similar. They all have bunkered control buildings, hunkered type-B
hardened antennas, aboveground high-frequency (HF) communications antennas, it type-C' communica-
tions satellite (comsat) building, and it permanent support area.
Chita SRF Army
BASIC DESCRIPTION
5. Chita SRF Army Headquarters Radcom Xmtr/Bunker/Hard is 9 nautical miles (nni) west
of Chita and 14 lint southwest of the Chita SRF Army Command Post/Bunker/Hard It
is fence-secured (Figure 2) and consists of an earth-mounded, single-arch-roofed control hunker, a sur-
rounding antenna field which is separated into fields A and B, a type-C comsat building, and a permanent
support area.
6. ~ Antenna field A (Table I) consists of eight double rhombic antennas, five horizontal dipole
antennas, and two quadrant antennas.
7. Antenna field B (Table 1) consists of 18 double rhombic antennas, ten horizontal dipole
antennas. three typc-B hardened antennas, two tower-mounted FORK REST antennas, and a mast sup-
porting a probable very high frequency/ultra-high frequency (VHF/UHF) communications antenna.
8. Since the previous reports,',' the two-story control building in antenna field A has been
modified and is serving as a type-C comsat station. The modification began in 1975 and had been com-
pleted by September 1977. Three lattice towers (items 16, 17, and 18) near this comsat station (two of
which support a FORK REST antenna) were removed. In antenna field B. two horizontal dipole antennas
(items 25 and 26) were removed, one horizontal dipole antenna (item 36) was added, aid FORK REST
antennas were installed on two towers (items 34 and 35) near the control bunker.
Omsk SRF Army
9. Omsk SRF Army Headquarters Radcom Xmtr/Bunker/Hard is 23 rim east of Omsk and
21 nm southeast of the Omsk SRF Army Command Post/Bunker/Hard . It is
fence secured and consists of an earth-mounded, arch-roofed control hunker, a surrounding antenna field
which is separated into fields A and B, a type-C comsat station, and a permanent support area.
10. Antenna field A (Table 2) consists of ten double rhombic antennas, seven horizontal
dipole antennas, two dual-shunted-angle dipole antennas, and one mast supporting a probable VII I7/UHF
Communications antenna.
I I. ~ Antenna field B (Table 2) consists of eight double rhombic antennas, six horizontal dipole
antennas, two dual-shunted-angle dipole antennas, two type-B hardened antennas, and one mast support-
ing a probable VHF/UHF communications antenna.
12. 0 Since the previous reports,',' the following changes to the facility have occurred. In
antenna field A, a type-C comsat station situated near the support area was constructed and a eared to
he operational. The comsat station was first seen under construction in January 1975 and had
been completed by May 1978. A horizontal dipole antenna (item 24), was
constructed near the support area. Two horizontal dipole antennas (items I and 2).
and two masts (items 21 and 22) had been removed. In antenna field 13, four double rhombic
antennas (items 3, 4, 5, and 6) had been removed and replaced by two nested pairs of
Orenburg SRF Army
13.~ Orenhurg SRF Array Headquarters Rad Xmtr/Station/Bunker is 16 urn north of Oren-
burg and 18 nm north of the Orenburg SRF Army Command Post/Bunker/Hard It is
fence secured and consists of a single earth-mounded, arch-roofed control hunker, a surrounding antenna
field, a type-(' comsat station and a permanent support area (Figure 4).
14. The antenna field consists of 14 double rhombic antennas, 22 horizontal dipole antennas,
two quadrant antennas, two type-B hardened antennas, and one mast supporting a prohahle VHF/UHF
communications antenna (Fable 3).

control bunker which w

pair of tune-R hardened antennas i
tems 38
and a mast supporting a probable VHF/UHF communications antenna (item 37), have been added near
the bunker. The type-C comsat station, which was probably started in the spring of 1976, had been
completed and appeared to be operational by May 1978. Two previously reported single rhombic antennas
can now be identified as double rhombic antennas (items 9 and 10). Three additional double rhombic
antennas (items 30, 31, and 32) and four horizontal dipoles (items 33, 34, 35, and 36) were also added to
the antenna field. A permanent support area has been completed and consists of five support buildings and
two quadrant antennas (items 40 and 41). The construction support area has been razed.

transmitter for the Vinnitsa SRF Army, is 8 nm west of Vinnitsa and 21 nm southeast of the newly
completed Vinnitsa SRF Army Headquarters Rad Xmtr/Bunker. It is one of the oldest identified SRF
d Xmtr/Bun
radcom facilities and the only Army-level transmitter which has no hardened antennas and no bunkered
control buildings. The facility was complete when first identified in 1961 and has undergone few changes
since that time. It is probably still shared by the SRF and the LRA, is fence secured and consists of two
control buildings, an antenna field surrounding each control building, a type-C comsat building, and a
permanent support area (Figure 7). The antenna fields consist of 24 double rhombic antennas, 14 horizon-
tal dipole antennas, eight dual-shunted-angle dipole antennas, two mast-mounted FORK REST antennas,
and three masts probably supporting VHF/UHF communications antennas (Table 6).
22. 0 The type-C comsat building was first observed under construction in June 1975 and had
been completed by October 1978. Type-C comsat stations have been deployed at all of the other SRF
transmitter facilities and the construction of this building is probably an indication of the continued use of
this facility by the SRF. The comsat station and the identification of three masts in antenna field A are the
only changes to the antenna fields since the previous reports, 1,6
23. In April 1979, a TWIN PLATE mobile troposcatter communications unit was observed at
the type-C comsat station. This was the first observation of mobile communications equipment at this
facility.

Vladimir SRF Army
24. ______ Vladimir Army Headquarters Rad Xmtr/Bunker/Hard is 11.5 nm northwest of Vladimir
and 18 nm northwest of the Vladimir SRF Army Command Post/Bunker/Hard
25. It is fence secured and consists of an earth-mounded, arch-roofed control bunker, a
surrounding antenna field, a type-C comsat building, and a permanent support area (Figure 8).
26. The antenna field consists of six double rhombic antennas, four type-B hardened anten-
nas, three dual-shunted-angle dipole antennas (one probable), 19 horizontal dipole antennas, four mast-
mounted FORK REST antennas (one probable), and six masts supporting probable VHF/UHF communi
cations antennas (Table 7).
27. Since the previous reports,1'7 the following changes have occurred. The type-C comsat
station, which was in the late stages of construction in August 1975, was complete in September 1977. One
mast (item 39) near the control bunker had been removed. The small earth-mounded bunker near the
entrance to the facility was modified in 1977 and appeared to be complete in April 1978. Three new masts
(items 41, 42, and 43), which appear to be in support of this modified bunker, were identified in September
1977. An area of unidentified construction was observed in April 1978 along the facilities northwest
fenceline.
