This was supposedly, part of their early warning over-the-horizon ICBM missle tracking, missle attack alert system. You got to admit - this dwarfs the freedom antennas of VOA. Wow, RF antenna-design must be in solid shape in Russia. When I learned Karnaugh Mapping in school - they used to talk about the students in Russia, having to work with 12-variable karnaugh maps.
Back in the cold war, they talked about the russian jet fighters - which still had vacuum tube VHF rigs in them. Apparently, they had a better natural anti-jamming ability, that some of our hot U.S. fighters of those days.
