Andrey Soldatov sent me an article a while ago that fell between two stools. It was about the three large Soviet/Russian Comint/Sigint facilities outside Russia: Lourdes (Cuba), Cam Ran Bay (Vietnam) and Ansan (N.Korea). The latter was new to me and according to Andrey's article, there seems to be a possibility that it will be reactivated now the Russians have left the Lourdes facility. Here is some info about the station:
| Operational | : | 1986-1997 |
| Code name | : | "Ramona" |
| Main target | : | USAF operations from Okinawa AFB |
| Staff | : | 80 |
| Umbrella | : | GURRSS (Main Directorate of Radio-electronic Intelligence of Communications, 3rd directorate of FAPSI) or GRU |
Sweden's telecommunications company Ericsson is working on radar and missile guiding systems for Sweden's JAS-39 Gripen fighter plane.
The company suspended a total of five employees recently. The police arrested three employees on suspicion of industrial espionage for Russia. The other two are possibly involved. Two Russian diplomats have been expelled from Sweden as a result.
Russia said it would expel two Swedish diplomats in what appeared to be retaliation for Sweden's expulsion of the two Russian diplomats, although Russia's version of the story is a bit different. Associated Press reports: "The statement said the decision was based on activities of the two diplomats that had brought "harm to the security interests of the Russian state."
