The latest radar "Sky-UM" entered the ZVO

Two radio engineering regiments of the Western Military District, stationed in the Leningrad Region and Karelia, received the Sky-UM radar, the Okrug press service reports.

Radar "Sky-UM" refer to stations of medium and high altitudes of the standby mode. They are a further development of the Sky-U radar. From the basic version they are distinguished by more sophisticated equipment, made on the latest element base. The radar is capable of equally effectively detecting and tracking both dynamic (aircraft and cruise missiles) and ballistic (ICBM warheads) targets

- said in a statement

It is noted that the station’s equipment allows not only to detect and accompany targets, but also to determine their nationality. After that, the information is transmitted to the command post or to the operators of anti-aircraft complexes.

In addition, the station is able to determine the EW sources and transfer their coordinates to combat crews for further destruction.

Radar systems were delivered to the troops as part of the state defense order for this year. In May of this year, the Ministry of Defense signed a contract for the supply of these stations with a manufacturer company, the Nizhny Novgorod Scientific Research Institute of Radio Engineering. According to the terms of the contract, by the end of 2019, the military department should receive 11 radar "Sky-UM", added in the press service of the ZVO

The device is not bad. The main thing is how it will show itself in reality.

Here is the complex, in addition to our mobile radars specifically for air defense systems.

And this is also a new mobile radar approach ...

[Sergey53]

This is all for air defense. I had in mind land work for artillery and infantry.

For this there is a UAV. At the same time, the same Sunflower quite well detects sea targets. Apparently there is something similar to Sunflower for artifacts with infantry, in addition to UAVs.

Hello! Only a little more ...

"station equipment allows not only to detect and track targets, but also determine their nationality"...

Wow ..... As if in more detail about this ...

[Servisinzhener]

I think my alien system is simply integrated.

Well ... A flying warhead ballistic missile - is determined by nationality ???

Not everything is so rosy in the Russian kingdom ...

For good, such complexes should be with all medium and long-range air defense systems, at least.

[utyutkin]

definitely !!!!! and why? but because they see the stealth! apparently in conditions of complex jamming at a distance of at least 50 km.

In addition to SKY-SV ...

According to its characteristics, station 1L125 Niobium-SV is capable of detecting an inconspicuous air object (EPR = 1 square meter) at an altitude of 10000 meters at a distance of 230 kilometers, at an altitude of 500 meters at a distance of 53 kilometers. The radar has a field of view at a range of up to 500 kilometers and in height - up to 65 kilometers. The maximum speed of the tracked target is 5400 km / h. The radar is mounted on the chassis of a 4-axle KamAZ and is transferred from traveling to combat position in 15 minutes. We also add that this radar is designed for long-term operation (capable of being on combat duty for months).

1L125 Niobium-SV meter-standby radar was developed by the Federal Research and Production Center Nizhny Novgorod Scientific and Research Institute of Radio Engineering, a member of the Almaz-Antey Concern for Aerospace Defense, and is being mastered by production at the newly opened in Nizhny Novgorod JSC Nizhny Novgorod Plant of the 70th Anniversary of Victory, which is part of the Concern’s structure. The six radars being purchased will probably be the first production stations of this type.

The radar 1L125 "Niobium-SV" is intended for air defense of the Ground Forces and is, apparently, a smaller overall variant of the standby mode 55ZH6UM "Niobium" radar, produced since 2013 for the Russian Air Defense Forces, and which, in turn, is a further development of the radar developed by NNIIRT the duty mode of the Air Defense Forces 55Zh6 “Sky” (in the series since 1987) and 55Zh6U “Sky-U” (in the series since 1995). It is appropriate to note that the radars of the Sky series were also produced in modifications for the military air defense - 1L13 "Sky-SV" and 1L119 "Sky-SVU".

either they press us to provide real data on niobium or it sucks! what is the point in the characteristics to represent epr = 1 m2. all stealth has less. and indeed the phrase that the radar sees the target at some distance is nonsense. it’s the same as saying that the stars are in the sky. and for some reason it seems to me that niobium sucks.

[Servisinzhener]

Of course less, but in a certain range of waves. And real TTX is most likely a secret and this is good.

[NEXUS]

And here's another video for thought ...

[utyutkin]

so what's wrong? standard kilometer over-the-horizon radar. in common people a woodpecker. current is beaten 1 time. It consumes a lot of power, therefore, it previously required the presence of a nuclear power plant nearby :). It uses the effect of reflection of kilometer waves from the ionosphere. In my opinion, they should completely bend around the earth. of course, it’s not suitable for guiding zur, but for intelligence and warning it’s a great little thing :)

[Romario_Argo]

11 radars will cover the sky along the front in 13200 km
to 2025 it’s possible to block all the gaps, and maybe in the second round ...

[Servisinzhener]

I doubt that it is so. I think for each basing point in the row there will be one station. Well, at least they should stand with some overlapping of each other's viewing areas.
