The intelligent and funny Russians monitoring of B-52, RC-135

P-3 Orion is"lumberjacky", and more quips of that sort.
Below is the translated transcript of the most interesting part of a cellphone conversation between OSNAZ sigint/elint veterans on the holy soil of their own motherland. One of my well-wishing acquaintances with the talent for comprehending Russian military lingo, has in his possession government-issued mobile-phone monitoring device and the sense of smell for good stuff: herebelow the veteran had monitored US and NATO dating back to 1986.

...during my time, U-2 flew only over the Mediterranean, from Acrotiri in Cyprus...they are not here...they sniffed Lybia together with P-3 Orion...
there was a war in 1986...our guy from GCCS latched on to 24 F-111 flying the England-Gibraltar-Mediterranean lengthwise route...

...transferred it to his op officer, who in turn forwarded it to Moscow, who said they [the US] won't have guts, but within 4 hours Libya no longer had air defenses, part of its navy and air force. They [the Russian monitors] did their job, they warned within 4 hours...
Instead of U-2 they flew TR-1 (the improved version) over West Germany, surveilled the GSVG (Formations of Soviet Forces in Germany)... from the altitude of 27000 and the speed of 700, had plenty to look at during the 5 hours...

The record has RIDDLE 26, time 0745, had the habit of talking directly to Croughton, not SKYBIRD...that day the call sign was SHAMROCK. The same day there was INLACK 83 at 10:04, frequently for a radio check, and 2-3 hours afterward followed up with an opreport of "normal" and 4-digit time stamp...

Radio exchange resembles RC-135, only with a different transmitter background...flight zone. RC-135 often hung around the Baltic, sent HARVARD and then BROTHER messages, who knows what that meant, but they always mentioned the nautical mile distance from the shore (of the USSR), while within the international airspace...

These flights were reconnaissance as well as for provocation, along borders. At the end of the tape there is this handsome guy, at 53:53, FLOME24, after broadcasting the 0810 time says five zero nautical miles off shore in international air space and continuing mission. Property-Croughton...RC-135: BOWK33 29:13 sends two 3-digit number messages, ISSUE40 at 30:32 sends 5 number messages...

All of the B-52 used call sign Muse, even during their training at Saragossa, Spain, with MUSE CONTROL as the base station, which was trackable as Croughton...the bombers used their own radio operators...According to the treaty with us [the Soviets] they could not remain in Europe permanently. Those were the happy days, they reported every broadcast...Mind you, the SR-71 at 59:13, call sign CURNEY83, the distinguishing number were two digits of 04, no time stamp, and that was the same guy speaking...

What's interesting is that Croughton can't hear him, and the GLADIOLA, the HQ comm center answers him...he always came across with echo...the most lumberjacky plane was P-3, call sign minus numbers, like NUS, loiters for 8 hours, hourly roars out alphanumerics, annoyed the heck out of us as well as his own guys, he was KRUPP (38:58), or ROME (57:18) over the Mediterranean...over the Baltic, the exchange was like that of RC-135, with HARVARD, BROTHER, and MIND and some more alphanumerics.

При мне U-2 летали только в Средиземном море с Acrotiri о. Крит, здесь их нет, вынюхивали Ливию на пару с P-3 Orion, в 86-м там война была, парень с GCCS словил 24 F-111 по маршруту Англия-Гибралтар-Сред. море поперёк, отдал оперативному, тот в Москву, там, подумали не посмеют, через 4 часа у Ливии не было ПВО, части флота, части ВВС. А предупредили почти за 4 часа, т.е. выполнили задачу разведки. Вместо U-2 летал TR-1(улучшенный) над ФРГ, за ГСВГ наблюдал, с высоты 27000 и скорости 700 за 5 часов много высматривал. В записи есть, Riddle 26, время записи 07:45, имели привычку выходить не SkyBird, а напрямую на Croughton, позывной в тот день Shemrock. И ещё один в тот же день, Inlack 83, 10:04, часто первый выход Radio check, через 2-3 часа op's normal время 4 цифры. Радиообмен похож на RC-135, но другой фон передатчика, зона полёта. RC-135 часто торчали в Балтике, давали радиограммы Harvard и сразу после Brother, почему так назывались, не знали, но в них всегда говорили в скольких морских милях от берега (СССР) находятся в международном воздушном пространстве. Такие полёты были и разведовательные и провакационные, вдоль границ. В конце плёнки есть такой красавец, 53:53, Flome24 после времени time 0810 говорит 50(five-zero) nautical miles of shore in international air space and continuing mission. Property-Croughton.RC-135: Bowk33 29:13, выдаёт две кодогруппы по 3 символа, Issue40, 30:32, выдаёт 5 кодогрупп. Все B-52 позывной Muese(на этих учениях), даже на время их нахождения на учених в Сарагосе, Испания, работала станция Muese-control, пеленговалась как Croughton, просто свои люди сидели для бомберов. По договору с нами постоянно базироваться в Европе они не могут. Докладывался каждый выход на связь, были весёлые дни. Обрати внимание на SR-71 59:13, позывной Curney 83, отличительный признак время в двух цифрах 04, без указания часа, так говорил только он. Но интересно, что Croughton его не слышит и отвечает ему ВКП ГК в Атлантике Gladiola, его всегда было слышно с эхо. Самый дуболомный самолёт-P-3, позывной слово без цифр, как у НУС, летает 8 часов, орёт каждый час буквы-цифры, доставал и нас и их, если в Сред.море, Krupp 38:58, Rome 57:16, Если в Балтике, то на RC-135 радиообмен похож, Harvard и сразу после Brother.Mind, 46:56, и ещё буквы-цифры.
