On the recommendation of Rajon - Komsomol , he was sent to a secret school where he in three months to the technology - lieutenant was trained for radio technology. He then carried out orders from the General Staff in Iran and Kurdistan in 1941 and in the North Caucasus armed forces in 1942 .

During his studies he repeatedly carried out secret missions at the conferences in Tehran and Yalta and at the 4th and 1st Ukrainian Fronts .

The founder of the Soviet missile defense system, Grigory Vasilyevich Kissunko, was there to defend his diploma project for air-to-sea missile control , which was supervised by Pavel Nikolayevich Kuksenko . In the Special Bureau SB No. 1 established in September 1947 by the decision of the Council of Ministers of the USSR to improve the effectiveness of bombers against enemy ships, Beria became the deputy of the chief designer Kuksenko.
