11:49 Spy stories "Flounder» | |
Recently I came across Habre very interesting post. He is so interested in me that wanted to read a little more detail than that presented by the author. So, thanks to my humble request and the great luck I managed to talk to someone who came across this device close. At that time he held a high post in the Technical Commission of the USSR, and direct his team studied this unit in the Ministry of Defence. Therefore I would like to start over, only with all the specifications and without errors. In Kamchatka we are Tuyev hucha missiles. But they must have something to do with Moscow. Trans-Siberian to Vladivostok, we are main cable. Accordingly, the easiest way was to lay submarine cable from Vladivostok to Kamchatka. Cable was armored cable is shielded, the information transmitted encrypted. However, there was no noise. So by connecting directly to the cable information could be intercepted, and later decoded. To this end, the U.S. project was created "Cocoon" and within it worked a miracle Yudo device. We dubbed him "The device information retrieval systems with armored submarine cable communication lines" Flounder ". Unit"Flounder" has been implemented in a steel cylinder of length more than 5 meters and a diameter of about 1200 mm. In a sealed tube was mounted several tonnes of electronic equipment for receiving, amplification and demodulation removed from the cable signals, and nuclear (plutonium), the power source. Estimated duration of work was for many years. The device also includes a special indutsionny sensor, which was shooting information directly from the cable. Not only with ordinary cable, but also secured a double armor of steel tape and steel wire. Signals from the sensor is pre-amplified antenna amplifier, and then forwarded to demodulation, the selection of individual conversations and tape recording. RecordRecord eavesdrop on conversations for 60 automatically operate tape recorders, which in the presence of signals in the cable are included, in their absence are stopped. Each tape is designed for 150 hours of recording. The total volume of records overheard conversations of about 3000 hours. TransferBy the time the film runs out by specially trained people underwater swimmer finds the device plays for Hydroacoustic beacons installed on the container, remove the cable indutsionny sensor capture, advanced antenna amplifier shot signals and delivers the device in a specially equipped submarine . This device is in the water weighs a little over 100 kg. In the boat the replacement tape, after which the device is placed back on the line. To implement such a system requires a special submarine, equipped with devices to search for undersea cables. Moreover, the devices were mounted outside the boat and worked at the same time a very great depths. SummaryBut as they say, there would be a blessing in disguise. In the 88 th our fishermen, who knew nothing about cable, nor about "flounder", accidentally damaged cable. And even during the elimination of damage to it and found it. She was sent to Moscow, where she carefully studied the various specialists, including one who to me about "flounder" all told. P.S. Firstly, sorry for the horrible quality of pictures - some were. Secondly, if the article is like, I'll write about the land version - "Mole" - and even about different cakes on a trifle. | |
