Russian Radar systems

franco wrote:Until now, the "hole" was closed by mobile complexes such as "Podlet" and "Protivnik-G". However, they also have their drawbacks. In particular, the rather narrow field of view makes the radar data vulnerable to attack. In addition, both complexes cannot boast of accuracy when tracking hypersonic targets.

That bums me out a little bit.  Since we bought the Protivnik-GE (I'm guessing the "E" stands for Export) and figured it was great against stealthy and hypersonic targets as well as cruise missiles but didn't know it was vulnerable to attack because of its narrow beam, nor did I know it can't track hypersonic targets very well.  Hope the Resonance-NE isn't as susceptible to EW attack and can at least track supersonic targets.

Usually the radio-technical troops use 5 to 6 or even more different radar systems at one of their locations to compensate for any shortcomings of one system.

Latest radar station arrives for Russian troops in Siberia

The system is capable of finding targets over the wooded moderately rugged terrain and under enemy passive, active or combined jamming

MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. The latest Podlyot low-altitude radar arrived for the radio-technical regiment of the Central Military District’s Air Force and Air Defense Army stationed in the Novosibirsk Region in western Siberia, the District’s press office reported on Monday.

"The system is capable of detecting and tracking targets at low and ultra-low altitudes under natural interferences and jamming. Besides, it [the Podlyot system] is capable of determining coordinates and locking on and tracking any aerodynamic targets, including low-signature objects," the press office said in a statement.

The Podlyot is designated to monitor the air situation and detect targets at low and ultra-low altitudes. The system is capable of finding targets over the wooded moderately rugged terrain and under enemy passive, active or combined jamming. The station can also continue its operation upon attempts of fire suppression.

Zgo "Container" radar station on combat duty



December 1, 2020 marks exactly one year from the moment when the newest over-the-horizon radar station "Container", created by JSC NPK NIIDAR (part of JSC RTI), went on combat duty in the Republic of Mordovia.

The radar station has fully proved its importance and effectiveness in controlling movement in the airspace at a distance of more than several thousand kilometers from the state border. Over the past period of time, the zgo "Container" radar has detected and determined the trajectory parameters of strategic, reconnaissance and tactical aircraft, including flights of low-visibility fighters of NATO countries.

"The Container zgo radar station, which is on combat duty, is a radar complex that covers the airspace of the entire European part of our country," said the Director General of NIIDARMakarov K. In. – "There are plans and certain developments for the further placement of similar stations on the territory of the Russian Federation."

Over-the-horizon radars are a type of locator designed for ultra-long-range reconnaissance of airspace. They reveal the intentions of the enemy long before their means of air attack are formed and undertake an attack or provocation with crossing the border. Similar to the existing SPRn field, it is planned to create a continuous radar field for aerodynamic targets in our country.

No more questions...

Yanqui chauvinist blowhards appear to have forgotten about such systems.   Their view that some first strike on Russia will
be successful is delusional.   This makes the yanquis dangerous.   Even if that includes to themselves.

The endlessly talk about their stealth and "situational awareness" without realizing that against Russia they would have serious issues with their AWACS and would need to switch on the radars on their fighters, while Russia has early warning assets of the highest grade in theater that would allow their planes to remain passive most of the time. When confronted with that fact the only answer is "OTH are fixed, easy targets for strike"... Sure, Washington is one of those, too

BTW, MoD says new OTH (presumably Konteiner) will be created in south and East directions:

"Plans for the development of the Russian system of over-the - horizon stations in the near future provide for the expansion of opportunities for controlling airspace in the southern and Eastern strategic aerospace directions," the Ministry said.

Russia develops fully automatic radar system to enhance airspace control
The new system is the first one in the history of radio-technical troops with automatic radar modules that require no operators’ involvement
MOSCOW, December 14. /TASS/. The latest radar system Nablyudatel (Observer) has been developed in Russia, Chief of the Aerospace Force’s Radio-Technical Troops Major-General Andrei Koban said in an interview with the Defense Ministry’s Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper on Monday.
The latest types of radar armament, such as the Nablyudatel FSR and KVP [the Observer federal reconnaissance and airspace control system] have been created and are already in service to boost the airspace control capabilities," the general said.
The new system is designated to control the airspace and provide for aircraft flights and is the first system in the history of radio-technical troops with automatic radar modules that require no operators’ involvement, he stressed.

"The capabilities of each radar module make it possible to conduct radar reconnaissance automatically within a radius of up to 450 km. The radar system can integrate up to 20 modules, which allows for automatically controlling aircraft flights over an area of up to 300,000 square kilometers," the radio-technical troops’ chief said.
The latest complex can be employed together with the VKAO-M data processing system, which helps boost the level of the Russian airspace automated control, the general said.

"Such complexes have already been deployed within the boundaries of the central industrial district of the Russian Federation where the air traffic intensity is the highest," he said.

On the Amur river, a radar station will be built to control US aviation, a source said

MOSCOW, December 15-RIA Novosti. The second over-the-horizon radar station "Container" will go on experimental combat duty in the Amur region in 2024 to control the airspace in the Eastern strategic direction, a source in the defense industry told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.
"The main purpose of the second Container is to strengthen radar monitoring of the Eastern strategic aerospace direction, including in connection with the increased activity of the US aviation, as well as to timely counter potential air threats, such as cruise and hypersonic missiles," the source of the Agency said. He added that the Eastern strategic direction includes the Chukchi, Kamchatka and Sakhalin-Pacific air routes.
According to the source, "in accordance with the plans to build a system of over-the-horizon stations, the second "The container"will take up experimental combat duty in the Amur region in 2024".

To give an idea of the coverage, with the three already precisely located Konteiner:



The range of the radar apparently is not fixed but variable depending on the frequencies and modulations used, nevertheless for illustration purposes the radii in the picture are 900 and 3000 km

Russia should focus on the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and other low latitudes to its south. The expectation of yanqui ICBMs coming
over the polar cap is reasonable but that is not the exclusive route. SLBMs are rather important.

This is the radar coverage against aerodynamic targets, I think the all-around coverage against ballistic missiles with Voronezh type radars was already completed some time ago, nevertheless they are announcing a new one in Vorkuta.

Another map.

Take a few of these Aframax tankers build at Zvezda and put a modified Voronesh radar on them. Send one to Cuba and another one to the new Red Sea base.
