29B6 commonly uses 50 sweeps/sec (max range 3000 km), but it has been seen with 25 sweeps/sec (max range 6000 km) and 100 sweeps/sec (max range 1500 km). 29B6 uses Frequency Modulation On Pulse (FMOP), unique among OTH Radars since they tend to use Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW).

Defense forces: Far East strengthened with modern air defense systems
Previously, such a powerful radar dome was only in the Crimea.
The Far East will cover an impenetrable radar dome. The Ministry of Defense has completed the deployment of the latest Sky-M and Podlet stations in this region. Now, Russian air defense is capable of detecting at a distance of hundreds of kilometers, in addition to conventional aircraft, also drones, cruise missiles and even hypersonic aircraft. After finding the targets, their data will be transmitted in real time to military calculations - for this, the air defense group is strengthened by the Foundation-M automatic control system (ACS). Experts note that before such a single radar shield was only in the Crimea.
Far East will repel blow
New weapons and equipment were received by one of the radio engineering brigades, which is deployed in the Far East, sources in the Defense Ministry told Izvestia. Previously, such systems were located in the Crimea - at the beginning of 2018, the "Nebo-M" radar was sent to the peninsula.
The most advanced radars and air defense systems have always been transmitted to border areas - this allows you to keep an eye on your neighbors in order to protect the country from an unexpected enemy attack, said Vice President of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, Colonel Vladimir Anokhin.
“The situation in the Far East can hardly be called calm,” the expert told Izvestia. - The United States is currently playing an important role in the region. They have military bases in Japan, South Korea and several other Asian countries, which allows Americans to intervene in their affairs. States are actively using this, making often harsh statements regarding, for example, China’s policies. And the situation is unlikely to change. For more than half a century, Americans have invested huge amounts of money in their military bases and are not going to leave them. For example, the last joint exercises of the US and Japanese Armed Forces took place this year.
The fact that the new Russian weapons systems were the first to appear in Crimea and the Far East indicates the importance of these strategic directions for ensuring the country's security, the expert said.
The equipment received by the troops will help saturate the radar field in the Far East, believes former lieutenant commander of the Air Force on the issues of the combined air defense system of the CIS countries, Lieutenant General Aitech Bizhev.
“This replacement is planned and necessary,” the specialist told Izvestia. - New radars allow you to define targets in a wide range of heights. Most importantly, low-speed high-speed aircraft - cruise missiles, and subsequently hypersonic missiles, will not hide from them. ACS, responsible for the rapid collection and processing of information, is the basis of any modern air defense. Now the air defense units operate in a single information field, where the exchange of data streams between command posts and individual calculations is in electronic form in real time. This is a necessary condition for the accurate operation of modern air defense.
It is not possible to transmit target coordinates by phone, as they did before, today. By the end of such a conversation, the enemy will have completed all the combat tasks before him and will go unpunished, said Aitech Bizhev.
Radar stations "Nebo-M" and "Podlet" are highly mobile. If necessary, they can be transferred to the right place by ships or aircraft, the specialist noted.
Look to the sky
The new generation of radars is made on the domestic element base and uses advanced phased array technology. According to the developers, this not only increases the capabilities of the equipment, but also simplifies its maintenance and repair.
The "Nebo-M" radar can detect not only aircraft, but also ballistic missiles at ranges of up to 1 thousand km. It will detect air and hypersonic targets at a distance of 600 km, which is twice the capacity of the previous generation of stations. Neither will camouflage targets with stealth technologies for the new radar - radars will recognize them without any problems. The Ministry of Defense stated that at least twenty units of such equipment would be delivered to the radio engineering troops by 2021.
Developed by the Almaz-Antey concern, the Podlet radar complements the "Nebo-M", detecting small targets at low altitudes of tens and hundreds of meters above the ground. Its main purpose is the detection and tracking of massive attacks by cruise missiles, as well as aircraft trying to break through an air defense system on a low-level flight. The station operates reliably even in conditions of active and passive interference. It is specially designed for collaboration with new air defense systems and can provide target designation for S-400 air defense systems.
The Fundament-M mobile automation complex for radio-technical troops, unlike its predecessors, is located in the same machine. With it, you can bring together information collected from a variety of radars and electronic intelligence tools in real time to get a single picture of what is happening in airspace.
