And the godamm Soviets certainly knew it: in 1961 they flew the same and unique M-50 thrice with different markings, to create the illusion of a large force...


As soon as the CORONA and GAMBIT spysats started flying in large numbers (250 Agena spysats of varied types launched between 1959 and 1984) the intelligence certainly got better... satellites were unmanned, cheap, plentiful (at least before the KH-9 !), and provided nearly constant coverage.
