Russian Radars 1941 /Crimea
This questions is addressed to the Russian experts & historians
on this forum .
Were there any Radars in Crimea on June 22,1941 such at Cape Tarkhankut
and from what base in Romania or elsewhere Luftwaffe dispatched recon
planes on that day to Sevastopol ?
Below an excerpt from Russian historian M.Solonin " The sleeping airfields "
At 2.35 on June 22 Radar RUS-1 at Cape Tarkhankut discovered aerial target, going from the west.At 3.05 zvukopelengatornye
station recorded the noise of aircraft engines at a distance of 20 km from Sevastopol.Technique worked flawlessly.It was more
difficult with people.The commanders of all ranks began feverishly to find out to whom you can shift the responsibility for making
the decision to open fire ( of course his English translation is not precise )
