In September 1967, Yu.V. Votintsev was appointed chairman of an inter-departmental commission for examining new ABM system and equipment designs. The commission rejected the designs by A.L. Mints for the Don-2N multifunctional radar, since it did not resolve the main problems of antiballistic-missile defense with the required effectiveness -- the discrimination of ballistic missile warheads in the presence of countermeasures.
By June 1975 it possible to define the purpose and time periods of development and creation of the new Moscow ABM system. The Mints Radiotechnical Institute (RTI) was assigned the task of developing and constructing facilities for the upgraded Moscow ABM defense system, and V.K. Sloka was the chief designer. The Don-2NP multifunctional radar [known in the West as PILL BOX] is located not far from Pushkino (Moscow region).
The multifunctional Don radar had a shape of a truncated pyramid with equal length and width (100 meters), and height of 45 meters. Phased arrays with diameter of 16 meters each were mounted on four sides of the pyramid. Along with the digital processing of incoming signals and information, this radar features an antimissile missile control channel and a wide range of probing signals, making its operation possible in various modes. The resolution characteristics of the radar are excellent, and it can see space objects a few centimeters in size.
Building of the radar began in 1978, and it reached full operational capability around 1989. The modified Don 2NP large multifunction phased-array radar at Pushkino is an integral part of the A-135 Moscow ABM system. The radar, which has 360-degree coverage, provides support for GAZELLE and GORGON interceptor systems.
Zaloga reports that this facility is located at Krasnoarmeisk, but provides coordinates that are substantially different from those provided by NIMA [Krasnoarmeisk, aka Krasnoarmeysk, PPLX 48°31'48"N 44°37'59"E].
A map that appeared in Soviet Military Power incorrectly labeled the radar site as a [non-existent] Moscow ABM launcher complex under construction, and placed the radar location several kilometers to the east of the actual location.
Fryazino PPL 55°38'00"N 38°30'00"E
Fryazino PPL 55°57'38"N 38°02'44"E
According to one published Russian report, the main radar station and computer complex are "in the region of the town of Fryazino" near Moscow. Fryazino is small scientific town, located in the north-east area of Moscow region, 25 km from Moscow. Fryazino is located on Metshersk lowland on the river Luboseevka running into the river Vorya (the left inflow of the river Klyaz'ma). It had a population of 54,000 as of 1992. Large enterprises at the location of the modern city appeared in the middle of the 19th century (factory Kondrashovykh-Kaptchovykh). In 1900 a factory for mechanical engines was built, and about 450 persons worked in the factory by 1916. In 1934 a mechanical plant was built, and at the end of 1930s a branch-line from Ivanteyevka (located on the railway line Moscow - Yaroslavl) to Fryazino was constructed. Since 1938 it is a worker's settlement Fryazino, and since 1951 it became a city. Later the city developed as a center of microelectronics.
The Fryazino part of the Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FIRE RAS) together with Special Design Bureau was founded in 1955. The total staff of the FIRE RAS is about 1000. About 700 researchers and engineers, including 58 doctors and 230 candidates of sciences work in 60 laboratoriesof the FIRE RAS. The laboratories of the FIRE RAS are located in 6 separate buildings and take the area of 13000 square metres. The total area of the FIRE RAS territory is 68 hectares. Work at the institute includes fundamental researches in radio engineering, radio physics, electronics and informatics, as well as applied researches, development of high technologies and design of new scientific instruments.
Other scientific institutions and organizations include Research-and-production enterprise "Cyclone - Test", Production enterprise "Electron-device" and State research-and-production enterprise "Istok".
ISTOK is the State Research and Production Corporation (SRPC) of the former USSR, and one of the largest producers of microwave components inthe world. Founded in 1943, ISTOK's capabilities encompass almost every equivalent of US and European technology. ISTOK is the leading microwave tube company in Russia and has research,development, and manufacturing facilities located in the Moscow area. Founded in 1943, ISTOK designs and manufactures klystrons, TWTs, BWOs, IOTs, CFAs, magnetrons, solid state devices, and complete microwave and millimeter subsystems. ISTOK had a broad product line of rugged magnetron and klystron powertubes at 5800, 2450, 915, and 460 MHz with CW power levels from 100 W to 100 kW for industrial processing. ISTOK has an extraordinary array of industrial products. ISTOK magnetrons are manufactured in Russia in the Fryazino Region of Moscow. The strict manufacturing and quality control procedures for Russian military products are enforced throughout the Fryazino plant for all products. ISTOK's plant, with 8,500 employees and 270,000 square meters of space, has manufactured thousands of high quality microwave and millimeter tubes for military and industrial applications.
Although the general location of the PILL BOX radar is well established, evidently the exact location is a matter of some confusion. In fact the radar site is 48 kilometers North of Moscow, about 2 kilometers from the town of Balabanovo. This is established through LANDSAT imagery, which reveals a large circular exclusion zone around the radar complex.

Cuveni Cat House Dunay-3U u blizini Moskve. Pogledajte dimenzije PVO postrojenja.
https://www.mycity.rs/must-login.png
The Moscow A-35 anti-ballistic missile system includes the Dunay-3 (chief designer V.P. Sosulnikov) and the improved Dunay-3U (chief designer A.N. Musatov) sector radars, known in the west as DOG HOUSE and CAT HOUSE. A total of eight Dunay sector radars were originally planned, but by 1971 only four of the Dunay sector radars had been built. At that time a decision was made to finish building the facilities already started at the second Dunay-3U radar, and to halt the rest of the work.
In 1979 the United States began planning to station 108 new Pershing-2 medium-range ballistic missiles in Germany. The Pershing-2's flight time to Moscow was only 10-12 minutes, posing a possibility of surprise destruction of hardened command and control facilities. the Dunay-3U long-range detection radar, oriented to the west, was capable of detect the launch of Pershing-2 missiles no later than 2-3 minutes after launch from the northern and central part of Germany [the southern part of German territory was not monitored by the radar at extremely low angles]. Modification of the radar transceivers, increasing their power, made it possible to expand the search sector and reliably cover the entire territory of Germany. It was decided to modify the transceivers and combat program of the radar, taking additional steps for fire safety, and the radar was modified in a short time with minimal costs.
Zaloga reports that the Cat House radar is located at Stremilovo, but provides coordinates [55°10'N 37°11'E] that are somewhat different from those provided for this placename by NIMA [55°08'43"N 37°09'10"E].

@Ron Jeremy evo aerodrom sa grenlanda.USA. Thule Air Base.

https://www.mycity.rs/must-login.png
Dopuna: 17 Apr 2006 21:22
Thule Air Base/Pituffik Airport) (IATA: THU, ICAO: BGTL), an unincorporated enclave within Qaanaaq municipality, Greenland, is the United States Air Force's northernmost base (76°32′N 68°50′W), located 695 miles (1118 km) north of the Arctic Circle and 947 miles (1524 km) south of the North Pole on the northwest side of the island of Greenland. It is approximately 550 miles (885 km) east of the North Magnetic Pole. It is the site of the former town of Dundas, which was moved to Qaanaaq for the construction of the base. The permanent population of the base was 235 as of Jan. 01, 2005.
The military installations at Thule was first constructed during World War II, when the U.S. in 1941 took protective custody over Greenland due to Nazi occupation of Denmark. By 1951 sufficient improvements to the infrastructure had been made to stage some bombers here during periods of international tension with the Soviet Union.
For instance: in the winter of 1956-57 three KC-97 tankers and alternately one of two RB-47H aircraft made TOP SECRET polar flights to inspect Russian defenses as depicted in the drawing below. Five KC-97 prepared for flight with engines running in weather 50F below zero in order to insure three got airborne. After a two hour start a B-47 would catch up with them at the NE coastline of Greenland where two would off-load fuel to top-off the 47's tanks. (The third was an air spare) The B-47 would then fly seven hours of reconnaissance; while the tankers would return to Thule, refuel, and three would again fly to rendezvous with the returning 47 at NE Greenland. The B-47 averaged ten hours and 4500 nm in the air, unless unpredictable weather closed Thule. In that case the three tankers and the B-47 must additionally fly to one of three equidistant alternates: England, Alaska, or Labrador. All of this in moonless, 24 hr artic darkness December through February. These flights demonstrated the capability of Strategic Air Command to Soviet Anti-Air Defense.
In 1961, a Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) radar was constructed at "J-Site," 13 miles northeast of main base. BMEWS was developed by the Raytheon Corporation in order to provide North America warning of a transpolar missile attack from the Russian mainland and submarine-launched missiles from the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans. At this time, Thule was at its peak with a population of about 10,000. Starting in July 1965, there was a general downsizing of activities at Thule. The base host unit was deactivated. By January 1968, the population of Thule was down to 3,370. Thule became an Air Force Space Command base in 1982.
Today it is a military base, home to the 821st Air Base Group, which exercises Air Base support responsibilities within the Thule Defense Area. The base hosts the 12th Space Warning Squadron, a Ballistic Missile Early Warning Site designed to detect and track Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) launched against North America. The 21st Space Wing operates around the world to provide missile warning and space surveillance information to North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) command centers located in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado. Thule is also host to Detachment 3 of the 22d Space Operations Squadron, part of the 50th Space Wing's global satellite control network and a lot of new weapon systems. In addition, the modern aerodrome boasts a 10,000 foot runway (3000 m) and 2,600 U.S. and international flights per year.
Thule, Greenland, is also the home where the fastest surface wind speed in the world was measured when a peak speed of 333 km/h (207 mph) was recorded on March 8, 1972. Interestingly, Thule is the only Air Force Base with an assigned tugboat.
Regarding the past and present military use of Thule Air Base see The Danish Peace Academy's Danish and English documentation in the Encyclopedia on peace and security's article: US Thule Air Base - Greenland.

AREA 51
https://www.mycity.rs/must-login.png
Dopuna: 19 Apr 2006 20:35
Area 51 (also known as Dreamland, Watertown Strip, Paradise Ranch, The Farm, The Box, Groom Lake, and The Directorate for Development Plans Area) is a remote tract of land in southern Nevada, owned by the federal government of the United States, containing an airfield apparently used for the secret development and testing of new military aircraft. It is famed as the subject of many UFO conspiracy theories. There are also many rumors that the fedral government also use this are to store weapons of mass destruction and this is why there is maximum secruity in and around the area.
Area 51 is a section of land of approximately 60 square miles (155 km²) in Lincoln County, Nevada, USA. It is part of the vast (4,687 square mile [12,139 km²]) Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR). The area consists largely of the wide Emigrant Valley, framed by the Groom and Papoose mountain ranges (to the North and South respectively) and the Jumbled Hills to the East. Between the two ranges lies Groom Dry Lake (37°16′05″N, 115°47′58″W), a dry alkali lake bed roughly three miles (5 km) in diameter. A large air base exists on the southwest corner of the lake (37°14′N 115°49′W) with two concrete runways, one of which extends onto the lake bed, and four unprepared runways on the lake bed itself.
High-resolution satellite images have shed some light on the facility's complex runway layouts. Area 51 has two operating runways, the main is 14L/32R, a concrete runway constructed in the 1990s, measuring 11,980 x 200 feet (3,651 x 61 m) with a 1000 x 100 feet (304 x 30 m) overrun at each end and the secondary, shorter runway is 12/30 which also doubles as a taxiway, measuring 5,420ft x 150 feet (1,652m x 45m). The older runway is exactly six miles (9,656 m) long. It is composed of 12,500 feet of concrete, 11,080 feet of asphalt, and 5560 feet and 2540 feet of now dismantled asphalt on the north and south ends respectively. At least three sets of old runway markings are found, suggesting that the full six-mile length was probably never used in its entirety. Currently only a 6,600 feet (2011 m) stretch of the concrete section is marked for use, forming runway 14R/32L. The dirt lakebed runways, comprising two twin airstrips, measure up to 11,270 feet (3435 m) in length and 100 to 170 feet (30 to 52 m) in width.

Area 51 shares a border with the Yucca Flats region of the Nevada Test Site (NTS), the location of many of the U.S. Department of Energy's nuclear weapons tests. The Yucca Mountain nuclear storage facility is approximately 40 miles (64km) southwest of Groom Lake.
The designation "Area 51" is somewhat contentious, appearing on older maps of the NTS but not newer ones, but the same naming scheme is used for other parts of the Nevada Test Site.
The area is connected to the internal NTS road network, with paved roads leading both to Mercury to the northwest and west to Yucca Flats. Leading northeast from the lake, Groom Lake Road (a wide, well-conditioned dirt road) runs through a pass in the Jumbled Hills. Groom Lake Road was formerly the track leading to mines in the Groom basin, but has been improved since their closure. Its winding course takes it past a security checkpoint, but the restricted area around the base extends further east than this (unauthorized visitors who travel west on Groom Lake Road are usually observed first by guards located on the hills surrounding the pass, still several miles from the checkpoint). After leaving the restricted area (marked by numerous warning signs stating that "photography is prohibited" and that "use of deadly force is authorized") Groom Lake Road descends eastward to the floor of the Tikaboo Valley, passing the dirt-road entrances to several small ranches, before joining with Nevada State Route 375, the "Extraterrestrial Highway", south of Rachel.

CAMP BONDSTEEL, KOSOVO
Camp Bondsteel je glavna baza americke vojske, pod komandom KFOR-a na Kosovu i Metohiji. Nalazi se u blizini mjesta Urosevac, u istocnom dijelu pokrajine. Baza ima funkciju glavnog NATO staba za kontrolu multinacionlne brigade istok (MNB-E).
Kasarna je konstruisana snagama 94.inzinjerskog bataljona uz pomoc BROWN & ROOT SERVICES CORPORATION, koja je takodje pomogla funkcionisanju baze. Kasarna je gradjena uglavnom od drveta. U unutrasnjosti se nalazi veci broj baraka namijenjenih smjestaju materijala i osoblja. Baza je okruzena 2,5 metara visokim zbetonskim zidom. Za konstrukciju kasarne 2 brezuljka su "odsjecena" i dolina izmedju njih je napunjena zemljom.
Americka vojska je bila kritikovana zbog navodnog koristenja baze za nasilno ispitivanje i pritvaranje osumnjicenih za terorizam. Novembra 2005. Alvaro Gil-Rosles, borac za ljudska prava je u Vijecu Evrope, opisao bazu kao "manju verziju Gvantanama". U demantu US Army je izjavila da na Kosovu ne postoji kamp za isledjivanje ili pritvaranje sumnjivih osoba.

Aviano bazu vazduhoplovnih snaga koristi americko RV. Aerodrom se nalazi u sjeveroistocnom dijelu Italije. Smjesten je oko 30 km sjeverno od grada Perdononea. Do 1. 11. 2005. bila sjediste 31. lovackog vinga.
Baza i aerodrom su nastali daleke 1911. godine za potrebe italijanskog vazduhoplovstva. Tokom I svetskog rata koristena je za dejsto protiv Austro-Ugarske armije. U to vrijeme, dva italijanska avijaticara, kapetan Mauricio Pagliano i porucnik Luidji Gori izveli su malo poznat, ali junacki i ucinkovit napad na usidrene austrijske brodove u Pulskoj Luci (tadasnja Jugoslavija). U njihovu cast, aerodrom je 1919 promijenio ime u Aeroporto Pagliano e Gori.
Tokom II svjetskog rata i Italijanska RV i njemacki luftwafe su koristi aerodrom u samo nekoliko misija. 1945 Britansko Kraljevstvo Vazduhoplovstvo je zauzelo i obnovilo aerodrom. Citav kopleks je bio pod konrolom Anglo-amerikanaca sve do 1947., kada je Italijansko RV uspostavilo komandu nad novostvorenom armijom. 1954. ITAL. RV je prepustio kontrolu baze NATO trupama ( US AIR FORCE ) koja ga koristi i dan danas.
Tokom sukoba na prostoru SFRJ, letovi sa aerodroma su postali svakodnevnica, za misije cuvanja vazdusnog prostora BIH, te bombardovanja Srbije i Crne Gore. Dio aviona je preletio u baze u Rumuniji i Madjarskoj.

MAGINJO LINIJA FRANCUSKA
Kopleks bunkera, zapreka, podzemnih baza i drugih prepreka koji je sagradjen izmedju dva svjetska rata na granici Francuske i Njemacke. Ime je dobila po tadasnjem ministru odbrane André Maginot-u. "Linija" je nastala na osnovu iskustava iz I svj. rata. Cilj Maginjoa je bila da zadrzi moguci napad iz Njemacke. Uspjeh "staticke odbrane" u I svj. ratu je imalo kljucnog uticaja na odluku Francuza.
Linija je konstruisana od 1930-1935. Potroseno je oko 3 milijarde francuskih franaka. Materijal od koga je gradjen kompleks je bio uglavnom armirani beton i celik.
Kriterijumi za izgled linije su bili veoma visoki. Tako naprimjer, postojali su brojni povezani bunkeri za smjestaj omogucen hiljadamae ljudi. Postojalo je 108 glavnih tornjeva, nalazili su se na svakih 15 km. Brojni manji tornjevi sa puskarnicama izmedju njih. Ti tuneli su bili ukupne duzine preko 100 km. Linija nije gradjena kroz Ardene (jer se vjerovalo da su neprohodni za tenkovske jedinice), niti uz granicu sa Belgijom, jer je bila prijateljska zemlja Francuske.
Neposredno prije rata Maginjo linija je produzena uz Belgiju, ali standard i kvalitet utvrdjenja ni izbliza nije bio kao ostatak kompleksa.
Cvrstina linije je bila najjaca u blizini industrijskih gradova: Meca, Lotera i Alsaka. Francuska je pokusala da prikaze kopleks kao neosvojivo utvdjenje sa brojnom i obucenom posadom....
U II svj. ratu, maginjo linija se pokazala kao potpuni promasaj i beskorisna gradjevina. Wermacht je napao direktno iz Belgije. Odbrana uz belgijsku granicu je bila nedovoljna za odbijanje njemackog napada, te je brzo unistena. Tokom sljedecih 15 dana, Njemacke snage su opkolile Maginjo liniju, te prisilile vojnike na predaju.
1944, kada su saveznici bili u punom naletu, Njemacke Snage su pokusale iskoristi polozaj kompleksa da bi odbili Americke jedinice, koje su krenule prema Njemackoj. Medjutim, ni njima linija nije pomogla, jer su je Saveznici zaobisli i opkolili.
Poslije rata kopleks je opet zaposjednut od francuskih oruzanih snaga kao podrska novostvorenom NATO paktu. Medjutim 1966 kada su se NATO jedinice povukle iz Francuske, Maginjo linija je poslednji put napustena.
Nakon toga dio kopleksa je pretvoren u podzemni muzej, dio linije u uzgajaliste gljiva, itd.
Maginjo linija je postala sinonim za neki propali projekat sa promasenom svrhom (sto je ustvari i bila).
