Soviet reconnaissance, artillery, and Air defence

At least when I was in, back in the late 70s early 80s, the radar primarily worked on doppler effects, basically meaning they showed movement. It was very ineffective in picking up statinary units, the key was to see things moving and thus be able to determine where things were headed, but rarely to know what you were seeing, or to see it when sitting still - but that was fairly early generation systems in the US Marine Corps also.
