Following this is a Tass press release extracted (very painfully)
from the Siscom demo infobase. I'll add others as I find them.
The infobase is on REDFSH::"249=" if you want to peruse it. It is
a demo system so it often non operational and complaints about the
newswires will be ignored or you will be told it is for demos only.
Print and Save are restricted so I had to set host/log to myself
and edit the results (I said it was painful).

For those who haven't seen this before, it seems that USSR
technology has yet to develop the shift/lock keys. At times their
English is less than perfect, but then I flunked it once, to!

if the inc is actually 64.9 then this is most likly a 4th
generation recon bird, that means it will be radio silent
over the US but anyone within 1000 miles of the Soviet
Union try lising to 240 MHz. Its mean height is a little
off however.
