This data has been automatically and computer-aided processing and fed to command posts of the LV (AD) and TLA (AD of the tactical ground forces). In the In Germany, the same systems were also available. Common Course Operations between Russians and Germans below the brigade level does not take place at all. This was also due to technical reasons. This is how TLA (army air defence) systems were and LV (regular air defense units) are technically not compatible. From the command post level division there were Cross-connections to the Russians. These connections were made by telephone depicted.
