Viewing cable 09DAKAR611, BLUE LANTERN CHECK ON LICENCE 994633 COMPLETED

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN CHECK ON LICENCE 994633 COMPLETED 
 
REF: STATE 17025 
 
 (SBU) On Monday 4, May Pol/Econoff and OSC Chief conducted a Blue 
Lantern check on license 994633 to verify that defense hardware 
exported to Senegal's Air Force was being used for the stated 
purpose.  Embassy Dakar can confirm that: 
 
- 2 AN/ARC-182 (V) Radios sets were mounted in two mi-17 
helicopters 
- 1  AN/ARC-182 (V) Radios set was stored in the base's warehouse 
 
Poloff and OSC chief can also confirm seeing 1 RT-1250A/ARC receiver 
transmitter; 1 MT-4935/ARC mounting base; 1 C-12109/arc remote 
Control; 1 Sensor systems S65-8282-34 Antenna; and 1 set of new 
electrical connectors.  Poloff and OSC chief verified that the 
serial numbers matched those sent in the Blue Lantern request.  It 
is our assessment that the Armee de l'Air du Senegal has received 
the items, has integrated them for appropriate  purposes, and has 
maintained effective inventory control on these items.
