1. Introduction
When I was lurking around Belgorod with Google-earth, looking for radar stations at the border line to Ukraine, I found a huge array of what looked like a chain of many CDAAs. Strange enough the station building was in the vicinity of crossroads and many buildings.
The place is easy to find East of Belgorod Center - see photos below.
I tried to get an impression of the facility's size and found exciting dimensions.
The line of sight from the first circle to the last one, the 30th, is 4800m. A few fields and houses further to the North another 10 circles stretch over 1200 m. It seems however, that part is abandoned - the shapes are hardly recognizable, but the huts in the center still are there. A straight line is visible going from the station building in direction NE - a beverage antenna?
I asked Ary Boender for his advice and he confirmed my own findings. According to http://www.warfare.ru Mil Unit #34037, the 149th Detached EWF Battalion of the General Staff is located in Belgorod, but - is this their site? Well possible, that this is something completely different and has nothing to do with antennas. Any idea is welcome.
