14th Main Communications Center of the General Staff
Identification
Identity is high confidence: open-source force-structure references identify military unit 25801 as the 14th Main Communications Center of the General Staff in Moscow, with subordinate fixed and field communications nodes concentrated largely in Moscow Oblast; a 2018 centenary report confirms the center was active under that title. ([ru.wikipedia.org](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D1%81%D0%B2%D1%8F%D0%B7%D0%B8_%D0%A0%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%A4%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8))
Moscow HQ
The HQ placemark is consistent with the long-associated 25801 compound on Ulitsa Bolshaya Olenya in Moscow. Registry-derived records tie v/ch 25801 to Bolshaya Olenya 15, an active labor-union entity for the unit remains at Bolshaya Olenya 15/45, and a 2026 Moscow utility document lists multiple administrative buildings, substations, and a diesel generator at Bolshaya Olenya 15, indicating a sizeable support campus rather than a single office building.

Beloomut satcom site
The clearest verified remote component is at Beloomut. A 2022 diocesan report places v/ch 25801-D there, and court records from 2021-2025 describe state-defense-contract work at that site to prepare for placement of a prototype Sfera-CSS satellite communications station, supporting a satellite-communications function at the placemarked outstation.

Luhovitsy-3 site
The placemark near 55.022N, 38.911E closely matches the documented military township Luhovitsy-3 / v/ch 25801-8. A Moscow Oblast budget document lists a medical point for v/ch 25801-8 at Vostochnaya Street 66; however, the specific public label "Central Measuring Equipment Laboratory" was not independently confirmed in the reviewed sources. ([pressa.ru](https://pressa.ru/files/issue/private/ezhednevnyie-novosti-podmoskove/2019/57-2019/raw_issue/ezhednevnyie-novosti-podmoskove-2019-57-2019.pdf))
Vatutinki presence
Vatutinki also has a documented 25801 presence: local administrative/police districting material lists v/ch 25801 among facilities in Vatutinki-1. However, higher-confidence public sources reviewed did not verify the exact designation of the two mapped Vatutinki sites as "v/ch 25801-10 receiving radio center," so that suffix and function should be treated as unconfirmed.
