Antenna device of the primary radar is a phased antenna array with frequency control of the vertical position of the beam. Antenna MSSR and NRZ - multipulse antenna arrays. They are located on the back of the PRL antenna. Gearless drive provides azimuth rotation. 4 main and 4 backup PRL receiver channels with frequency conversion with noise figure up to 3 dB. Sopka-2 has a built-in monopulse secondary radar Lira-VM. It can work in any systems of state recognition “Password”.

      It’s necessary to think not like the Chelyuskinites .... Although I admit that I have never been in those conditions, during the Soviet era I traveled a lot around the country, but mostly it is Central Asia.

      Judging by the way the entire infrastructure is organized at the newly created facilities in the Arctic, such questions should not arise. The time of tents, dugouts and barracks with "remote" latrines is in the past.

    Well, it would be nice to indicate the control zone of this station for a better understanding.
