Three years later, a similar post named "Reach" earned in the Soviet Embassy in Washington, and in By , the posts Pochin-1 in the embassy , Pochin-2 in the residential complex of the embassy , Proba-1 in the building of the Soviet representation in the UN and Proba-2 at the Soviet Embassy on Long Island could already intercept the messages of diplomats from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Portugal, Spain and a number of other countries, as well as some messages transmitted over US military lines of communication.

So, in , "Pochin-1" and "Pochin-2" intercepted 2. It was also possible to listen to conversations that were conducted through the Andrews airbase between Washington and the President of the White House, the Secretary of State, other high-ranking American officials who flied on the presidential plane abroad for which one of the employees of the Postchin-1 post was awarded the Order of the Red Star.

Based on these interceptions, reports were prepared and sent to Moscow. However, the extraction of posts "Pochin-1" and "Pochin-2" became information not only political, but also military. Since New York posts "Proba-1" and "Proba-2" were able to receive very valuable scientific and technical information. So it was possible to find out very important data on the design and development of A, B-1, F, other aircraft, anti-missile and anti-submarine defense programs.

And earned in in San Francisco post "Spring" controlled facsimile and telephone communications of Pentagon contractors, as well as the largest companies located on the west coast of the United States. The complex was manned by over 1, Russian personnel and is capable of monitoring a wide array of commercial and government communications throughout the southeastern United States, and between the United States and Europe. Lourdes intercepts transmissions from microwave towers in the United States, communication satellite downlinks, and a wide range of shortwave and high-frequency radio transmissions.

The facility at Lourdes, together with a sister facility in Russia, allowed the Russians to monitor all U. It was alleged that the Lourdes facility monitors all White House communications activities, launch control communications and telemetry from NASA and Air Force facilities at Cape Canaveral, financial and commodity wire services, and military communications links. According to one source, Lourdes has a special collection and analysis facility that is responsible for targeting financial and political information.

This activity is manned by specially selected personnel and appears to be highly successful in providing Russian leaders with political and economic intelligence. The former Soviet Union also used a variety of other means to collect signals intelligence. The Soviets operated SIGINT collection sites in over 60 countries from diplomatically protected embassies, consulates, trade legations, and residences.

It is possible that these activities are continuing in the United States. Russian collection activities could derive sensitive information on Government policies from monitoring Government activities in the Washington, DC area, and sensitive financial and trade information using Russian facilities located in New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. The location of microwave towers and cellular communication repeaters in the vicinity of Russian diplomatic facilities in these cities increases the potential damage from collection activities.

The Russians also continued the Soviet practice of using covert mobile collection platforms. During these operations, the Soviets gathered electronic order of battle EOB data, monitored exercise communications, conducted direction finding operations, and calibrated Soviet SIGINT satellites to determine geolocation accuracies. The Russians continue to maintain a robust presence in space. During , the Russians conducted 48 spacecraft launches, 50 percent of which were military missions including advanced imagery systems, ocean reconnaissance, and electronic intelligence collection.

In , the Russians have programmed 45 space launches; again approximately 50 percent will be military missions. ELINT satellites use active and passive techniques to detect specific targets.
