...pilot had no way of knowing that other electronic eyes were watching Flight 007 from far ahead of him, although he would assume the Soviets would be monitoring the aircraft. Soviet radar had locked on to the 747 at about noon (E.D.T.) that day, when Flight 007 was cruising southwestward over the Bering Sea, and would follow the plane for the next 2½ fateful hours. As always, U.S. and Japanese intelligence stations were in effect watching the Soviets as they watched the jumbo jet. The stations did so by recording the radio communications between the Soviet radar operators, probably...
...Tripoli: the first of more than 5,500 Army and Marine troops landed in Honduras last week to begin months of deadly serious war games, and 550 Air Force personnel arrived in the Sudan with eight F-15 fighters, two KC-10A tankers and a pair of AWACS radar planes prepared to track Libya's Soviet-made jets bombing Chad (see WORLD). Whatever the arguments about its prospects in one place or another, the new expansiveness is being questioned on practical grounds: U.S. forces could be spread too thin, as the Army's Chief of Staff suggested last...
Last week another carrier, the Eisenhower, was patrolling off Libya because of Gaddafi, again with AWACS near by. The President ordered the Air Force to provide the state-of-the-art radar planes and escort fighters, as well as to fly in troops from Zaïre. An additional $15 million in emergency U.S. military aid is now arriving, all to fight off an attacking force made up of Libyans and Chadian rebels...
That presence in Honduras already includes 57 U.S. Air Force technicians who man a radar station on a mountaintop 23 miles southeast of Tegucigalpa. In operation only since last month, it was ostensibly erected to monitor some 55 U.S. military support flights in and out of Honduras each month. In fact, the unit's radar can watch air traffic above all of Nicaragua and El Salvador...
...democratic party system, so neither of us can afford to take such a great risk that we endanger our administrations. Both the Congress and the Japanese Diet, while maintaining compassion for each other's position, should try to measure the depth of the water and to use radar to detect the existence of icebergs so we will not drown or sink. If we navigate carefully, and if we show strong resolve, no problem is impossible to solve...
