Now in radio continuum surveys more than 10,000 radio sources have discovered in the Milky Way plane but the Galactic origin only of a small part of them has been determined. The problem comes from the absence of estimates of source distance and the optical identification even for bright radio sources, and the most of sources have not spectral data at 2-3 frequencies. As followed some hundreds of sources have not classified as thermal or non-thermal. Now we don't know the full number of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Galaxy. The simple estimates show that a sample of Galactic SNRs is not full as for weak and extended (> 15′) as for bright and compact (< 3′) SNRs (Trushkin 1993).
