Those who came to their aid were 8200 fighters at the unit's absorption base in front of the Egyptian arena.

The Babylonian base, a hint to the translation of the various languages ​​made in it, is located 40 kilometers as the crow flies from the Suez Canal and was used to receive communications from the Egyptian army, to locate radar for air defense and TKA (against aircraft).

The base worked 24 hours a day to create fast, high-quality intelligence while fighting.

The soldiers tried to understand how the Egyptian forces would act to allow the fighters on the ground the victory.

For decades the images published here have been classified and banned from publication.

This was the pinnacle of technology in 1973, a secret measure that was not allowed to be published.

48 years they have not been published - to this day.

In the photos you can see a wireless team, who were proficient in the Arabic language and were instructed to receive and decipher communications from the Egyptian army.

The base was the main facility that absorbed reports reported to Southern Command and Research.

From there they brought the intelligence and news before and during the war.

The wireless would sit in an underground bunker, which would allow for the day-to-day work.
