👀⚠️ The mysterious Farsi-language Numbers-Station on 7910kHz, received in 🇮🇹Milan at 18:00 UTC on March 3, 2026. Probably the most interesting radio signal in recent times.

🇷🇺 RUSSIA | Satellite Imagery Reveals Massive Over-the-Horizon Radar Under Construction in Kaliningrad Newly published satellite imagery from ICEYE reveals the construction of a large Russian over-the-horizon (OTH) radar installation near Gvardeysk, in the strategically important Kaliningrad exclave, between Poland and Lithuania. The SAR imagery, captured in late August 2026, shows three extensive antenna arrays, each exceeding 500 metres in length. The arrays converge in a distinctive Y-shaped configuration within a double-fenced military compound. According to reporting based on ICEYE intelligence, the radar is designed to detect aircraft and missiles at distances of approximately 900–3,000 kilometres, potentially extending Russian surveillance coverage across significant portions of European NATO territory, including Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The installation represents a significant expansion of Russia's long-range surveillance infrastructure in the Baltic region. Unlike conventional line-of-sight radars, OTH systems can exploit radio-wave propagation through the ionosphere to detect targets beyond the Earth's curvature. Its geographic position could strengthen Russia's strategic early-warning capabilities and situational awareness across Northern and Central Europe. However, the imagery establishes the physical development of the facility, not its operational readiness. The reported detection range remains a projected capability rather than independently verified performance. The project forms part of a wider Russian effort to expand electronic intelligence, surveillance and military infrastructure throughout Kaliningrad.

This is the French OTH radar "NOSTRADAMUS." As you can see, the shape is the same. 📍 48,64171° N, 1,08087° E

NEET INTEL blocked me years ago, so I can’t reply to him. Could someone point out to him that the signal isn’t being transmitted on 🇺🇸HFGCS 11175kHz, but on 11177kHz in RTTY mode? He is receiving it on 11175 kHz because his SDR is set to USB (voice) mode with a 3 kHz bandwidth 🤦🏻‍♂️

NEET INTEL is incompetent or acting in bad faith? A simple Google search for the exact signal frequency (11177 kHz) would have revealed what it actually is and that there is nothing unusual about it. I kindly ask you to share this post, to provide X community with accurate info

Someone should get him a book like "Shortwaves for Dummies," because he still hasn't figured out how to set up his radio receiver when picking up a signal in RTTY mode.

Sorry, I’ve just noticed a typo. Tnx to radio signals in question, it’s only possible to track SB-921. In reality, without visual evidence, it’s impossible to track exactly the submarine. She is certainly not far from the tug, but I wanted to clarify this for the sake of accuracy
