Radar station of space forces of the Russian Federation

16
The modular station Voronezh-M of high factory readiness (VZG) is intended for use as part of a missile attack warning system (SPRN). The Voronezh stations will replace the obsolete Dnepr in Ukraine and Daryal in Azerbaijan, and the task of concentrating the ground-based missile warning system on the territory of Russia will finally be solved. The main purpose of the new radar is a warning about launches of a nuclear missile in the north-west rocket-hazardous area, as well as issuing data on space objects to the space monitoring system.

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?)

9.



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



11.



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.



27.



28.



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.



37.



38.



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.

    An interesting, powerful station. Do similar stations protect the east and central part of the country? I wonder how the data is transmitted to the missile defense system to destroy the detected objects.

      And also the author did not see industrial keyboards on which it is possible to spill both coffee and crumbs to her nothing. I also did not like about the priests, they are where someone needs and the blogger’s cave atheism is out of place.

      I fully support! From now on, I think such statements should be left behind the scenes. Recently, there was an article. There they would have been crucified!

          dok fair, but personally I certainly don’t laugh at faith. in general, if an article offended someone, you need to ask the administration a question.

    Good photos, for a complete picture of air defense systems, there would be more, so that the whole country under the "umbrella" good
    As a request, dear moderators, the author of this article probably missed the warning, during registration, that statements of believers who offend religious feelings are prohibited here and expressed his subjective opinion about the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church and its shrines - a bowl with St. I have two friends, priests, both combatants in Chechnya, and outwardly they look the same - "thick and thin", moreover "fat" without a leg up to the thigh, which he cut off to get out of the padded armored personnel carrier, " thin"
    -spetsnaz. Moreover, the priest was invited to consecrate the radar, and not the parade to receive or insult the military men. Such "writing" as an Orthodox believer deeply insult me, you do not know the person and his deeds, do not write.

    What is interesting about the meter range is that the geometric component of the Stealth technology does not work against it. Those. all sorts of fancy devices such as B-2 or F-117 lose their meaning.

    looking at the photo, I have the first thought - in what ways you can destroy, mine the station and command post ... I think there are options ..

    at the end of the eighties, the councils made the ship "Ural" expensive, welded, sent to Vladivostok, the essence of the ship is that it goes out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and the states like in an aquarium so this ship never came out at sea, I suppose they agreed at the highest level then they kicked it from the border guards to the sailors and eventually sawed
