Communications GRU
Identity
This record is best understood as a distributed GRU/General Staff communications layer, not a single installation. The strongest verified anchor is v/ch 03113 at Vatutinki: a 2009 Russian MoD order listed it there, public registries still showed it active under the Ministry of Defense as of February 24, 2026, and RuPEP identifies it as the 134th special-purpose receiving radio center, also described as the main receiving radio center of the General Staff/GRU; that specific center title should be treated as traceable open-source attribution rather than official Russian confirmation.

Moscow hub
A second verified Moscow-area node is v/ch 32047 in Mytishchi-16 on Shirokaya Street, which public registries showed as an active MoD military-security entity as of November 25, 2025. A Mytishchi municipal record also places v/ch 32047 in military town 667 near the coordinates in the record; open-source reference works and veterans' listings associate it with the 113th transmitting radio center, but that exact designation was not confirmed in the official registry sources reviewed.

Far East cluster
The Solnechny/Komsomolsk-on-Amur area is a well-supported military node in this network. The Khabarovsk Krai government labor portal lists v/ch 32443 at “6 km southeast of Solnechny” and names a serving acting commander, while regional vacancy bulletins from November 2025 list both v/ch 32443 and v/ch 47127 in Solnechny district; separate business-registry records place v/ch 47127 in Solnechny and show it later removed from the register in 2014. The official regional sources reviewed do not publicly confirm the exact GRU radio-center titles for 32443 or 47127.

Other verified nodes
Open sources also corroborate additional subordinate localities in the record: v/ch 63555 at Smolenka in Zabaykalsky Krai, v/ch 25503 at Khokhlovo in Smolensk Oblast, v/ch 51019 at Stepnoy in Aksaysky District of Rostov Oblast, and v/ch 63895 at Narimanov in Astrakhan Oblast. For 51019 and 63895, the reviewed registries indicate those legal entities were later dissolved or reorganized; for 63555 and 25503, the open material mainly confirms unit presence and locality rather than the full GRU communications title in the placemark text.

Assessment
On current open evidence, “Communications GRU” should be treated as a dispersed communications/radio architecture anchored by a verified receiving site at Vatutinki, a separate Mytishchi military radio site, and regional outstations extending into the Far East, western Russia, southern Russia, and Transbaikal. That layout is consistent with redundant long-range communications support, but the reviewed sources do not publicly confirm current equipment, force size, or wartime tasking for most subordinate sites; several placemark titles remain only partially verified.
