each battery of AAA units in the White Russian, 50X1
Baltic and Carpathian Military Districts has a new Soviet radar
set called wMalakhit" which was an improved version of the SON.
50X1
SON radar detection devices are similar to the US SCR 5844/
SON consists of a truck, surmounted by a radar screen and is
made up of:
generator - serviced by two men
sending station - sends out electrical impulses toward
the target (aircraft); this is a radar mechanism
with a screen and radar antenna on each side, serviced
by three or four men:
telephone operator
readings interpreter
controls operator
receiving station - receives the return impulses from
? the target. It is a radar apparatus with a screen
and a radar antenna on each side, serviced by six
men;
adjusts D - distance
adjusts H - height
adjusts E - elevation
adjusts B - azimuth bearing
(duties of other two men not known)
The SON sends its data to a synchronizer located near the AAA
batteries via electric cables. The synchronizer is called
Tsentralnyi Raspredelitelnyi Yashchik (central regulating box).
If the SON is more than 50 m, but less than three kilometers
from the AAA batteries, the computations are relayed through
a relay station, which is serviced by 12 men who recompute the
height, distance, elevation, and azimuth. If the AAA batter,'
is more than three kilometers from the SON the battery is not
used for firing on the target picked up by thn ON.
A complete SON
detachment had 44 men altogether.

or a new model. The reason for the difference in the number 50X1
of guns in the 1018th AAA Regt (16 guns) and the 93d AAA Regt
(100 guns) was that the 1018th AAA Regt was a divisional AAA
unit, used to protect moving units (Div Hq and Tk Regts),
whereas the 93 AAA Regt was a part of PVO (air defense), and 50X1
had an entirely different TA because it was a stationa

new officers assigned. the 57th was not a
brigade but a division. It had been a component of the PITO
Army under the direct command of the Kiev Military Okrug, which
is now subordinated to the Kharkov Rayon PVO. The PVO was
divided into three categories in order of their importance:
(1) The 1st category included Army rayons of Baku. Moscow
Leningrad, Khabarovsk and Sebastopol.
there was an Atomic Energy Research Institute in
Sevastopol.)
(2) The 2nd category included Corps rayons of Kharkov,
Kiev, Liubov, and Koenigsberg.
(3) The 3rd category included Division rayons.
Rayons 'of the first importance were guarded by an AAA Army,
those of the second importance by an AAA Corps and those of
the third by an AAA Division. .
The 57th AAA Brigade consisted of three regiments, 48 guns,
thirty-two 85-mm and sixteen 37-mm guns, 48 machine guns,
200-300 motor vehicles and a complement of 2,000 men. The
enclosed T/0 & E for the 57th Brigade 2:Enclosure I is a wartime
T/O & E; this does not preclude the possibilitythat it might
be upgraded in actual combat. The equipment of the 57th Brigade
was obsolete.

The brigade was made up of the 143d AA Regt (85-mm AA guns),
the 153d AAA Regt (85-mm AA guns), and the 163d AAA Regt
(37-mm guns; same organization as the 1018th AAA Regt). The
143d and 153d AAA Regts each consisted of a headquarters
(identical to that of the 1018th AAA Regt) and four batteries.
The let, 2d and 3d batteries each contained a headquarters
'platoon, an instruments platoon; and in addition a 12.7 mm
AA MG manned by a two-man crew. The headquarters platoon con-
sisted of a seven-man reconnaissance section, and a nine-Iran
communications section made up of six telephone operators and
three radiomen. The instrument platoon contained an eleven-
man specialists section and a three-man crew to service the
range finder. The firing platoon had four 85 mm AA guns with
seven-man crews which included

The duties of the firing platoon are to fire on aircraft and
ground targets.
5. The 4th battery of both regiments was identical to the other
three batteries except for the addition of a SON (radar)
detachment. The detachment was made up of one officer and
43 enlisted men, who worked with SON-2 (British made), and
SON-3 and 3K (Canadian made) radar detection devices. Each
battery was to have a SON section; and in such case the total
strength of the battery would be 110, including:
36 - firing platoon
14 - instrument platoon
16 - headquarters platoon
44 ?- SON detachment
In May 1951, only one battery of each regiment contained a SON
detachment, the other batteries had a strength of only 56
nen; the wartime T/O called for each battery to have 110 men,
including a SON detachment.
