...continuous firing of machine guns. Since July, short-wave radio operators in Europe, the U.S. and elsewhere have been tormented by a mysterious radio beam that Western intelligence sources say emanates from what is probably the world's most powerful transmitter: a 2 million-watt Soviet military radar station near Kiev...
...behemoth is apparently part of a Soviet effort to develop long-distance, over-the-horizon radar. Its signal, which pulses ten times a second, is four times more powerful than the most potent civilian radio stations; sometimes it is augmented by a smaller transmitter near the Black Sea town of Nikolayev...
Colby said technological advances and the threat of nuclear war have made the gathering of information more essential. He said directors of intelligence are now responsible for the management of technological systems including new photographic, radar and computer techniques...
Country Tinker. The plane turned out to be a crude, early version of the Foxbat, which the Russians designed 15 years ago to bring down the supersonic B-70, a U.S. bomber that never became operational. Belenko's MiG was equipped with obsolescent electronic targeting and radar systems. Its maximum range of 1,200 miles was short compared with the American F-4 Phantom fighter's 2,100 miles. Belenko's plane was also vastly inferior to the reconnaissance version of the Foxbat, which the U.S. has tracked over much longer ranges in the Middle East. Perhaps...
...range of frequencies the pilots operate on. Fire-control experts will look at the dials and mechanisms to determine what range the pilot must have to lock on to a target. The squad will be probing the electronic-countermeasure capability of the plane, checking whether it has a radar-absorption paint or plate to give it a distorted blip on radar scanners...
