Radar station of space forces of the Russian Federation
2. Radar "Voronezh-M" - works in the meter range, range - to 6 thousand. Km. Such stations can significantly improve the accuracy of determining the coordinates of air targets and provide guidance and control of missiles. Able to simultaneously control up to 500 objects. Developed by JSC "NPK NIIDAR" association "RTISystems". The power consumption of the Voronezh radar is 0,7 MW, the cost is more than 1,5 billion rubles.

4. In the system of radar radar "Voronezh" will take the place of the Soviet station in Latvia, located in Skrunda (and with the pomp destroyed by nationalists-vandals). Construction in Lekhtusi began in May 2005, and the first test launch took place in December 2006. In trial operation put in March 2007, and the final launch and setting on combat duty in February 2012.
5. A special feature of the Voronezh SPRN radar is high factory readiness (VZG) - the installation time of the radar does not exceed 1.5 – 2 years and technically the station has a block-container composition that includes 23 units of equipment in factory-made containers.
6. The perimeter of the guard is under current.
7. At night, hungry officers roam between the rows of barbed wire and search for hares killed by electricity.
(and what, do you really read all the text in the photo captions?)

10. The radar station is served by all 18 people.

12. If earlier the parade was received by Zhukov on a horse, now, instead of a horse, there are butts with a urn-spittoon.
13. Butt and deacon can serve as a vivid illustration to the story "Thick and thin." The booty is more reminiscent of a traffic cop, the same fat body and muzzle, and the same slacker.
14. This is Spa-a-a-mouth!
15. After a small briefing, we fall into the holy of holies - the command post. Above the jamb of a door, for some reason, for some reason, a God-guard sign. Looking at him, I immediately recall inspection coupons that need to be changed once a year. I will hope that the shabby brand will have to be changed much less frequently, and even removed altogether as a fallacy of the past - people fly into space, follow the plates, and believe in some kind of cave prejudice.
16. The emblem of the aerospace troops of the North-West.
17. About photo and video does not say anything. So, allowed.
18. Remember, the residents of Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, St. Petersburg and Pskov - people with such a patch guard the cosmic calm of the North-West
19.
20. Production equipment or Sitronics or Siemens.
21. Played a combat alert. From the western direction - an unidentified target, presumably a ballistic missile.
22.
23.
24. SPRN works under control of SunOS 5.5.1, which periodically flows into disk check.
25. This phone will inform the main command post about the start of a rocket attack on the country. The most important phone in the system. Steeper than 01, 02 and 03.
26. Computing tools of primary and secondary processing are built on a multiprocessor computer with an open architecture for real-time processing, unified across all prospective topics. The special computer has high performance (of the order of 100 billion op / s) and almost unlimited capacity for building. Volume - one polushf. Consumption - 1500 watts. Not serviced. Fail time 80000 hours.

29. Commander of the Aerospace Defense Forces Oleg Ostapenko listens to the report of the duty officer.
30. And congratulations on the interception of the watch.
31. Memorable pennants are bestowed on their first duty.
32. Conducting secret negotiations by phone is strictly prohibited.
33. Operator's workplace.
34. General view of the hall.
35. On the concept of ergonomics, the military does not know any idea. I, of course, understand that such a keyboard will survive a nuclear war, but I don’t even have any idea why it is so thick?
36. The radar controls outer space from Morocco to Spitsbergen and the east coast of the United States.

39.
40. Perimeter control system detected unauthorized access.
41. Main phones radar.
42. The Ministry of Defense has recently become very closely cooperate with the press, TV and bloggers.
43.
44. I did not know that rubber gloves have a shelf life. Judging by the date - soon to change.
45. The design of the Voronezh-M radar allows increasing the performance over time. The station is modular, and its service life is about 40 years.
46. The equipment of the station is located in a dozen containers, at the stations of the previous generation (“Daryal”) the module count was measured in thousands.
47.
48. This letter "A" protects the country.
49. Leaving the station surroundings, I take parting photos.
50. Yin and Yang.
51. And I'm going home.
I express my deep gratitude to pressa-zvo for the organized opportunity to visit the radar station.
