Russian designator: “Volga A” (kyrillic: «Волга А»)
The historical museum of the German Bundeswehr in Dresden still has one radar unit P-10. Unfortunately, it isn't exhibited publicly. It is stored in the depository. This photo of a (probably) Chinese station therefore here.
Figure 2: P-10 antenna
This foto is a scan of the magazine „Fliegerrevue”. The mistaken explaining text names the radar P-8. But the mast of the P-8 is a tube and not a paled construction. Bottom you can also see the rectangle formed antenna of the interrogator „Kremnij 1”.
