The most expensive piece of the Cold War that never ended is a building in central Vienna, and it's still on the clock. Russia's "Russencity" compound in Vienna, a nine-acre complex on the Danube, has SIGINT satellite dishes on its rooftops that face West. They reposition frequently. Vienna is optimally positioned for this, says @harkank in @FT. One large dish reoriented on the eve of the Munich Security Conference, Europe's main annual gathering of defence officials, then returned to its previous angle the day after the conference ended. Whoever is operating it had better conference prep than most attendees. The SIGINT station was commissioned in 1983. Andropov ran operations against dissidents, then ran the KGB, then ran the USSR, and also ordered a building. The building outlasted everything else. It is still working exactly as designed. Russia has around 500 diplomatic staff in Vienna, with up to a third suspected of being covert intelligence officers. Austria's own domestic intelligence agency warned in writing that the Russian SIGINT stations "pose a significant security risk".
