Hi all,
An interesting bit about a Falklands War plan to strike the Argentian carrier ARA Veinticinco de Mayo with Buccaneers using targeting information from Program 989 SIGINT satellites.

The rest of the article provides a nice overview of the Program 989 satellites and their use in Russian air defense interception, ABM hunting and even launching them from the Space Shuttle.
Enjoy the read.
