COMBAT TRAIN= : CIA-RDP80T00246A072800310001-9 50X1-HUM Rocketeer? Are Carrying Out Their Service with Honor -- Editorial (Pages 19-22) Abstract: Maryng Artillery Day, discusses accomplishments and problems of combat training. Excerpts: Air defense .equipment has been changed drastically. On the basis of new achievements in electronics, radio technology, and telemechanics, Soviet designers' have developed various highly effective rocket com- plexes which are capple of destroying modern air targets at any alti- tude, day or night, ;and in various weather conditions. Air defense personnel of PVO Strany are now equipped with everything necessary to defend the aerial borders of the Soviet fatherland reliably.... But it would be incorrect to be content 'with what has been achieved. While marking Artillery Day, we must pay attention to, shortcomings which unfortunately we still have., We must mobilize all of our strength to correct these shortcomings and not allow them in the future. Infringe- ments of regulations governing the well-being of personnel are still' condoned in certain podrazdeleniya. There are even some podrazdeleniya where there are shortcomings in launch and tactical training of person- nel and in the use and maintenance of equipment. (A captioned photograph of Engr-Sr Lt ISPOLATOV by K. AREAD'YEV appears on page 20. The caption praises ISPOLATOV for his innovation work.) (A captioned photograph by A.

A very la6onic report was given. "Target is a group. 'Enemy' has used interference." CIA-RDP80T00246A072800310001-9 50X1-HUM Although all measures were taken to separate and single out a useful py_se from the interference, it continued to be effective. It seemed for a while that the target was hopelessly lost. But the observers of the aerial expanses have a special flair, a skillful eye. They know how to follow the shy blips, to notice them through the phosphorescence. Communist Sgt LUN'YAEOV was ready to go to the aid of his comrades at any moment. While he watched what the "enemy" was doing, he whispered from time to time: "Decrease brightness, more accurate focus." Then, the enemy entered the firing zone. Immediately, the command- erhs.voice was heard, "Launch!" An outlined point flashed at the bottom.of.the guidance scope.' it / moved to the center of the scope. This is a combat rocket. As if in confirmation of this, a huge noise was heard. In a few seconds, a second rocket flew to meet the second target. "This is good," said a rocketeer.. "Wait a minute," noted Officer KUMRTXV as he watched the scanner uneasily. ? Then, his presentiment came true. It seemed as if a thunderclap was driven through the compartments. , A technicalLlapse proved costly. The second rocket passed by the target and explqed at a very high altitude with great farce as if indig- nant at not hav*Ig met the "enemy." But still the "battle" was con-' tinued with success. The following rocket launches hit their targets . exactly. However, the soldiers felt unsatisfied. The specialists looked at the commander guiltily. When he had finished working out some data4 KUZTIFLEV asked as if by change, "What happened there?" He heard in answer, "An unforeseen misfortune." Then, a techni- cian said, "You know, Comrade Commander, that all maintenance work was done according to the rules. All compartments were tested under voltage. True, there was a small spark. But this simply happened like when an automobile spark plug lead is not fastendd:. We did not think that it was important." "What happened then?" the commander asked sternly.

Navigatsionnyye sputniki [Navigational Satellites] (1963, 87 pp., 16 kopecks). The construction of new radio navigation systems which use signals transmitted by artifical earth satellites is discussed in an easy to understand form in this smA31 book. The author discloses the principles of operation of such a system and des- cribes ground and onboard equipment developed on a principle of measur- ing the known spatial position of a satellite. In his book, Molekulyarnyye usiliteli i generatory SVCh [Molecular' Super-high Frequency Amplifiers and Generatorsj (1963, 78 pp., 14 kipecks) Ye. A. EDISYREV discusses the properties of atoms and molecules used as the basis for the development of principally new instruments which not only provide amplification, but also generate oscillations in the 'super-high frequency ranee. The author in popular form discusses the construction and operation principles of the operation of maser ' amplifiers and their use in various branches of technology. Communications specialists will be interested in the training aia developed by the group of authors S. L. DAVYDOV, I. P. BTSOV, and F. L. LEMZON-ALEKSANDROVi Radiotekhnika [Radio Equipment] (19630 342 pp., 86 kopecks). It prbVides basic information on radiO'technology which must be 'known to study modern communications equipment in detail. In a popular manner, the authors explain the laws of radio wave pro- pagation, the role of antennas in their formation and reception, and the physical processes occurring in transmitting and receiving equip- ment elements. -9- No 'Foreign Diseenil?
