NOTE:
On the Store/Warfare Management Computer there is a place to enter "store codes" and fuzing codes, the codes tell what kind of weapon/store is loaded on the station and what type of fuzing it has.
Example, for a Mk 82 with BSU-86 Pilot Option fin, the code would be XX. The bomb is fuzed with a FMU-139C/B and Mk 122 Mod 0 so the fuze code YY.
The computer software has a data base of what codes go to what weapon/store/fuze so it will know what is loaded and provide release data/perimeters for the weapon/store loaded in.
It will also prevent illegal loads/release if you load something illegally or try to release something that is illegal and code it to what you actually have.
What they did was code the Mk 20 as a Mk 82 since loading a Mk 20 on centerline was illegal and the computer did not have any info for having a Mk 20 on that station.
Since it was an "illegal" load, the computer would not allow the weapon to be released if it was coded as a Mk 20 so they basically fooled the computer into thinking it was a Mk 82 (an authorized weapon) when they really had a Mk 20 (an unathorized weapon) loaded.
Was doing this legal, no, but when you have to get the job done you refer to the first rule of Naval Aviation - it's always better to beg for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

@RETAC21, thanks. Do you have some link about that modernization or any data

I don't think there was much to it

Here Alsedo:

Here Bonifaz

Los Barcos de Guerra de Eugenio - P-05 Bonifaz

Sailings lasted 10 days, and the crew added 2 NCOs and 1 corporal, so it seems to be mainly a COMINT/SIGINT platform (see they added a few antennas on the mast) with no on board processing capability

It seams that only France and Spain had dedicated "spy" ships. As much i noticed US only used naval aviation for ELINT and SIGINT.

Soviets used both ships and aviation

A3D-2Q (EA-3B):

24 electronic warfare versions with pressurized compartment in former weapon bay for one Electronic Warfare Officer and three ESM operators, various sensors. Some early models had tail guns, but these were replaced with the ECM tail. It was assigned to fleet reconnaissance squadrons VQ-1 (Japan and later Guam) and VQ-2 (Rota. Spain) where they flew alongside the Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star and the EP-3B and EP-3E. It served for almost 40 years, being the longest serving variant, and was replaced by the ES-3A Shadow

Constant change

The 1980s saw VQ-2 continue flying the EP-3E and EA-3B aircraft at a high tempo. The squadron maintained a permanent detachment in Athens, but unlike its sister squadron, VQ-1 who had a permanently assigned Officer-in-Charge (OIC) at its Atsugi detachment, VQ-2 rotated its OIC with the aircrews. Throughout the decade, the squadron regular had detachments at Mildenhall, Schleswig, Keflavik, Machrihanish, and Sigonella. The squadron also manned detachments on all Sixth Fleet carriers until October 1987, when the Navy deemed the A-3 no longer capable of safe, routine carrier operations after multiple mishaps with high loss of life in the active and reserve A-3 community.

Women continued to play an ever greater and important role in squadron operations. As the decade progressed, women routinely deployed to land-based detachments. Another milestone came at the end of the decade when the authorization for women to fly in combat support aircraft was extended to the EP-3E. Female pilots, NFOs, and aircrew began arriving and deploying in the Spring of 1989. .

Eastern and Central Mediterranean hot spots

At the beginning of the decade, the command had detachments covering the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the Indian Ocean, and the Persian Gulf. Over the following years, the squadron would have its most dynamic and productive period during peacetime operations.

The Soviet Union's reaction to the start of the Solidarity trade union in Poland created tensions which combined with the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan to effectively end détente. Missions into the Baltic increased as a result. With détente over, VQ-2 saw a buildup in the Soviet Navy's activity level and modernization, all of which kept the squadron's assets stretched thin. Also as result of the end of détente, there was an increase of Soviet and Cuban activity in the Western Hemisphere. Poor relations with the new pro-Soviet Sandinista regime saw detachments run out Panama as well as Key West.

The resolution of the Hostage Crisis and the onset of the Iran Iraq War lessened Iranian focus on the US which ended the Diego Garcia detachment, but the command would still have assets in the region when an East Coast carrier relieved a Pacific Fleet carrier the Indian Ocean. The terrorist threat from Iran would continue throughout the region.

In June 1982, after repeated terrorist attacks launched from Lebanon, Israel launched another invasion of Lebanon. The Israeli Air Force also launched an air campaign in the Bekaa that gored the Syrian air force and air defence system.[4] With the IDF reaching Beirut, a diplomatic solution ended the conflict by removing the PLO to Tunisia.

VQ-2 was awarded the Navy Expeditionary Medal for participation in the Beirut evacuation and operations in the vicinity of Libya during Operation El Dorado Canyon, 12–17 April 1986.[6]

Aircraft/aircrew losses and mishaps

On 25 January 1987, an EA-3B crashed on the USS Nimitz killing all seven crew members.[18]

1990s

In the summer of 1990, the squadron provided electronic reconnaissance during the evacuation of 2000 non-combatant personnel from war-stricken Liberia in operation Sharp Edge.[6]

From August 1990 to April 1991, VQ-2 provided combat reconnaissance during operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Proven Force, and Provide Comfort.[6]

On 29 June 1991, the first EP-3E Aries II aircraft arrived in Rota and on 20 September 1991, the squadron retired the EA-3B Skywarrior the same year.[6]

The US had ships in the past, but it had a string of bad experience that led to their abandonment: the USS Liberty attack in 1967 and the USS Pueblo seizure in 1968. Note that they used USS Narwhal and other Sturgeon class submarines as intelligence collectors.

Britain for many years used its trawlers as observation platforms, although never publically avowed. The only way to tell was the extra ariels on the roof. It was believed the Trawler Gaul which disappeared in the Barents sea  was utilised in such fashion, which started several conspiracy theories about the Russians sinking it. 

There is an interesting detail in the wiki entry on the Gaul.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FV_Gaul

'The report of the RFI dismissed the notion that Gaul was involved in espionage or that she was in a collision. It found that she was not fishing at the time of her loss, which indicated that no snagging (of the nets) could have occurred. Regarding espionage, Commander Clark RN told the inquiry that: "Skippers, radio officers and Mates of trawlers were involved in the low level observation and photography of Soviet vessels and aircraft and passive listening. This was on both a voluntary and an opportunity basis. General records and press cuttings on file indicate that some 30 to 40 Skippers were involved in the 1960s when this activity was at its peak. No records of trawler personnel involved in this activity exist in MOD files....However this type of intelligence gathering declined in the early 1970s. I have seen nothing to indicate that the crew of the FV GAUL were involved in this type of activity."[19]

 

It is possible that some of the trawlers operating out of Gibraltar and Malta were involved in such activities, and of course, other nations too.

Does anyone have any data on composition of Soviet 64th army corps and which antiaircraft missile systems was in 4th, 36th and 46th mechanised divisions of this army corps? Year of interest is 1980s.-1991.

Maybe @Mykola Saichuk, @Roman Alymov, @Captain Hurricane

During that period, there were only 10 military personnel in the 64th Army Corps. What missiles? I have seen the archives of this corps. The information about it on the internet is unreliable.

64th Army Corps in 1982-1999.

In the early 1980s, during the next round in the creation of army corps in the USSR Armed Forces, the deployment of the 64th Army Corps in a special period was envisaged on the basis of the 36th and 46th motorized rifle divisions of the district subordination. In peacetime, his office, which was disbanded in July 1989 [53, p. 14], was kept in a reduced composition. Two reduced motorized rifle divisions were subordinate to him (Table 20.3.1).

This interesting Russian sources state that 36th and 46th MDs had artillery AA regiments while Holm's great site write that they had missile artillery regiments. @Mykola Saichuk stated that 64th army corps was cadre unit so I presume that 64th army corps divisions was equiped only with AAA regiments. Maybe equiped with 54 S-60 guns each. Does anyone know something more

The 46th Division was disbanded in March 1989 after the return of the 4th Guards Motorized Rifle Division from Termez, which was reorganized into the 5197th Infantry Fighting Corps (it mainly stored armored vehicles based on armored objects – about 40 units [62, p.153]), and in March 1991 it was disbanded.

 

This Feskov reference book is full of false information.

That's disappointing to learn, considering a friend spent so long translating it for me.

I will make the book on the ORBAT of the Kiev Military District troops based on the directives of the district organizational and mobilization department bilingual, to make it easier for you. 😁
