Electronic Reconnaissance Aircraft of the Soviet Union Navy.
Abstract:
Gorshkov, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Defense and the Commander of the Navy of the Soviet Union pointed out The Fleet of the Soviet Union has been greatly developed since the 1960s. The Fleet, which was basically a seacoast defense force, now has become an ocean-going fleet and is a tremendous striking force. In order to carry out combat operations efficiently, Soviet Naval theory pays no less attention to the security and reliability of communications and to extensive, continued reconnaissance activities than to the combat Navy itself. The Soviet Navy established a extensive ocean monitoring system to gather intelligence accurately and quickly. This system consists of reconnaissance satellites, warships, aircraft, large radio interception networks, and a great deal of equipment for collecting and appraising information.
