Random RF tube identification help

General

Hi folks! My father went SK two years ago and we're in the final stages of clearing out all his radio equipment. Amongst the detritus were 3 OTK-2 tubes. I'm guessing they're for high power RF amplification, but I don't have enough knowledge to identify them.

Markings on the tubes read:

ΓC Ι

96

83

1982 (guessing this is mf date?)

15

9

OTK-2

Any leads on identification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I think I remember reading on a guitar amp forum once that OTK-2 is some sort of quality control code, so that may not be the tube type.

Edit: found it - https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/tubes-valves/82913-otk-stamp-russian-devices.html

According to this ГC-9Б indicates an air-cooled UHF transmitting tube. Here's a data sheet.
