Satellite images show russia has built a large-scale radio reconnaissance facility in the Kaliningrad region, just 25 kilometers from the #NATO border —Bild.
Per Tochnyi investigative platform, it is a giant ring antenna complex near the city of Chernyakhovsk.
Construction March 2023. Since then, the forest has been cleared, roads built & sites for buildings prepared.
“Pit holes for antenna masts are visible on the outer site. At least six rings can also be distinguished,” investigators noted.
This is a ring antenna array — a system of antennas for military radio reconnaissance and communications. The facility’s diameter may reach 1,600 meters, several times larger than conventional complexes of this type.
russia will be able to intercept NATO radio communications in Eastern #Europe & the #Baltic states, as well as establish more reliable communication w/ submarines in the Baltic Sea & North Atlantic.
NATO's reaction: they allow Russian drones to fly over 100 km into #Poland to appease putin.
