Id. Soviet equipment

#1

Post by Sturm78 » 05 Dec 2009, 15:15

Hi all,

Can anyone identify this equipment? According to the caption is a Russian sound locator used in the Leningrad front.
Does anyone know the model? More information and photos about russian AA sound locators will be welcome.

I do not know if also the second photo shows a Russian equipment or not. Can anyone help me?

Hi Paul Atreides,

Thanks for your help and for the link :D . It is a pity that I do not understand Russian :( . I have used a translator but with few results.
Have you more data and/or wartime images about this equipment: date of service,....

I too would be interested in getting information and/or wartime pictures of AA serchlights used by the Russians during World War II.

Hello, Sturm78!
Most probably, the searchlight is Z-15-4.
See the link below (especially, picture No.3).

Hi all,

This mine detector was identified by Jarkko member (http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 3&start=30) as a Soviet equipment. Any idea about the model?
