Published satellite images depicting the radar "Podlet-K1" on "Hmeimima"

The network publishes satellite images of the Russian Khmeimim airbase, and on these images, as stated, there is an image of the latest mobile radar of the Flying regime. Named specific version of the radar - "Flying-K1."

Radar "Flying" in Russia

This radar can automatically not only detect various air targets, but also carry out their “capture” with subsequent tracking in the area of ​​responsibility.

We are talking about such purposes as helicopters, airplanes and cruise missiles. And it is important that the radar "Podlyot" is able to detect those flying targets on which the technology of low conspicuity (stealth) is implemented.

The characteristics of the "approach" look impressive. It is able to automatically maintain more than 200 various types of targets with the definition of their nationality. The elevation coverage is over 10 thousand meters. Detection range - up to 300 km (without activation of the additional mode - up to 200 km). The detection zone in azimuth - 360 degrees. The deployment time of the complex is up to 20 minutes. The radar activation time is 3 minutes.

A snapshot of the Khmeimim air base of the Russian Aerospace Force of the Russian Federation was published on Google Earth, the notes were made by the Observer IL service.

Radar "Podlet-K1" developed by experts "Almaz-Antey". For the first time, the troops were delivered in 2015 year. Today, these radars continue to flow into various air defense units and formations.

We are talking about such purposes as helicopters, airplanes and cruise missiles. Moreover, it is important that the radar "Podlet" capable of detecting those flying targets for which low visibility technology (stealth) is implemented.

The thick hint of the F-35 and the dinosaurs.

[Invoce]

And a hint that, in response to trillions of re-equipment programs for amers, Russia is developing complexes that discredit all this, and costs a couple of orders cheaper ...

[bessmertniy]

Hmeimim hid more securely.

[Cananecat]

This is not a hint for a long time, but a strategy ... they are KAZ and armor, we are the tandem warhead ... they are the missile defense network, we are to overcome it, they are stealth aircraft, we are the radars that see them ...

[_Ugene_]

the tandem warhead does not help in overcoming the KAZ, and their missile defense cannot intercept a massive attack with ICBMs and for a long time they can’t do it, as well as with the radar, which supposedly sees stealth - there is a big doubt if it sees at what range, and what's the point if missile guidance head can this stealth confidently capture? you can’t put such a radar in a rocket

Radar that supposedly sees stealth

Nowadays, almost any modern radar station "sees stealth", the only question is the detection distance and tracking accuracy. STELS is not invisibility, it is stealth, suddenly ...

[_Ugene_]

Nowadays, almost any modern radar station "sees stealth"

yeah, almost any, well, very almost, and besides "sees" the missile seeker should capture this stealth, but with this there are big problems, so it turns out that the eye sees (and that is doubtful), but the tooth does not

STELS is not invisibility, it is stealth, all of a sudden

thanks, cap, now everything is clear to me

What about optical and infrared seekers? Yum? And what about decimeter radars, too? What about the fact that from some angles, stealth, but from others quite the opposite?

[Evil Booth]

about the method of guiding the missile at the radar’s commands without the participation of the missile, well, in any case, it’s probably not going to go without it)) and it’s clear that even the export cube shot down f117 11 km from pu and he saw it where it was 2 times earlier and hit perfectly without gos

[_Ugene_]

there the guidance was through the optical channel, i.e. the jamb of the pilot and luck, they stupidly saw him in the optics and aimed the missile manually, do you propose stealth shooting down in modern conditions? this is a great offer, I don’t even know what to say, and if they mean they will fly at night or day above the clouds, what should I do, pray?

[sivuch]

Yes, there was no optical channel there - at 9 pm and with heavy cloud cover. They found it with the help of the usual Terek (it’s P-18, if anyone doesn’t know) at a distance of 24 km (the radar was turned on periodically to make it difficult to detect), the CHP-125 took to A / S at 12 km, I didn’t remember starting something 7-9. And no Phillips.

[_Ugene_]

optical only in conditions of good visibility, but what if it is cloudy? decimetric is not very effective against stealth, meter is needed, but there are tens of meters of radar. From the perspectives, of course there is a difference in the EPR, this is due to the tactics of using stealth, in general, you can’t throw them with caps, as many here think, there is a problem and a big problem

[Winnie76]

Quote: _Ugene_

decimetric is not very effective against stealth, meter is needed, but there are tens of meters of radar.

Stealth optimized for centimeter wavelengths. For protection in the decimeter range, it is necessary to apply a coating with a thickness of a comparable half wavelength. So stealth versus meter and decimeter radars do not dance.

, in general, you can’t throw them with caps, as many people think, there is a problem and a big problem

The problem is definitely there, but it is solvable.

Yeah ... you tell the Serbs this with their ancient Soviet air defense system, which he saw and pointed and landed.

[_Ugene_]

Now calculate the effectiveness of such an air defense, one downed plane for how many hundreds of hours of sorties? just an excellent result, they razed the whole country to the earth, and in response they shot down one stealth, and then the pilot screwed up, because induced through the optical channel, i.e. stupidly saw a plane in optics and aimed a rocket

[NEXUS]

Now think about learning the calculations of air defense systems, the density of this umbrella in that war and the lack of separation. And then tell me about the effectiveness of NATO aircraft. What kind of competent air defense did the US pilots work against?

[_Ugene_]

If they did not work against modern layered air defense, this does not mean that there is no stealth problem for air defense. So arguing, you can reach the point of absurdity, for example - against whom were the massive attacks of ICBMs with nuclear warheads used? Not used, so there is no such threat? bullshit all these mbr? I think no one wants to check, the same with stealth at the moment.

[NEXUS]

Quote: _Ugene_

A simple example is Vietnam. More airplanes were shot down by air defense nicknames than by pilots. Yes, the example is slightly incorrect, but ... it was clearly shown there that air defense can land anything and in large quantities. As for your comparison ... you do not distort, dear.

[_Ugene_]

the problem of stealth aircraft for air defense is, and for now, a serious one, stealth now can easily not enter the detection zone of ground defense, shoot with the same unobtrusive missiles and leave with impunity, the problem will naturally be solved, but for now it is possible to more or less confidently detect them with huge meter radars range and raise planes somewhere to intercept, plus or minus a kilometer

[sivuch]

Yes, with the training of the Serbs, everything was fine. But with the materiel
By the way, a month later, another Goblin was shot down, but he flew to Paviano.

[g1washntwn]

Low losses of "stealth" (and ordinary sorties) in the same Yugoslavia are also low due to the fairly competent suppression of air defense before striking attacks, and the strikers themselves almost did not fly sorties without EW cover. The RER aircraft hung in the sky almost continuously.
The rocket on the F-117 was not directed "through the optical channel" - this is nonsense, dear. It was shot down by a 5V27D missile from the S-125 "Neva" anti-aircraft missile system, where there are no optical channels and never have been, radio command guidance there, read the performance characteristics and the subject of discussion first. According to the direct participants, the F-117 was visible on the detection radar (the first mark on inclusion - from 23 km), took good care of it and the second "doublet" rocket got it.

[sivuch]

Sorry, didn’t notice your post and started to paint

[Egor53]

If the eye sees, then the tooth (rocket) is also "ymet". All these American stealths are only sharpened for the Papuans. Under them, the grandmothers are washed, with great efficiency in washing, but very low efficiency in military aspects. In Syria, the US military aircraft had an order of magnitude less sorties than the Russian, and hits on targets were 2 orders of magnitude (one hundred times) fewer.

[210ox]

And the same "stealth" will launch a missile made using the same technology without entering the air defense zone. It's not that simple. There are "eyes", but a good "stick" is also needed against these .... damn "partners" leading let's say like bandits (the tragedy with our scout plane is an example of this)

[Ingenegr]

The indicated moment has a place to be with pure PA homing missiles. With RC guidance, it’s enough to have a target mark at the detection station. Next, the SNR will develop guidance commands and transmit them aboard the rocket. True, the accuracy of guidance in this case directly depends on the firing range.

[Paranoid50]

Quote: _Ugene_

you can’t put such a radar in a rocket

Why poke it? It is enough just to "highlight". In any case, they act in harness with the air defense system.

[NEXUS]

Quote: Canecat

they are stealth technology planes, we are the radars that see them ...

I will probably tell you a big secret, but our radars have ALWAYS seen these types of "invisible".

[210ox]

And the missiles that they launch? Andrei, I strongly doubt it.

[NEXUS]

Quote: 210ox

Dima, how did the ancient rocket from C-125 see the F-117? M. How did our air defense systems see the super-duper invisible and, as Trump said, smart RC mattresses? Which have an EPR much lower than that of the pangolin and the F-35.

[sivuch]

Missiles are increasing problems, not without it. For example, for a radio fuse.
If a rocket has an active head, like 40N6, then its detection range will be several times shorter, i.e. it is required to bring to the target area with greater accuracy

[Vol4ara]

But aircraft with stealth technology are able to detect almost all radars, the only question is the range

This is not an air defense radar. But rather, an electronic warfare antenna.

[_Ugene_]

why eb?
Mobile low-altitude radar system for detecting aerodynamic and ballistic objects. Appointment: solid-state (PAR) three-coordinate radar of the circular review of the S-band detection and tracking of targets at low and extremely low altitudes in conditions of natural and set interference. The radar provides:
- automatic detection, determination of coordinates, capture and tracking of any aerodynamic targets, including inconspicuous;
- determination of nationality;
- the issuance of information about goals to external consumers (control systems, air defense systems, etc.).
On the SAM displays data, why not air defense? This is the radar of the combat mode, not on duty

[voyaka uh]

Maybe against drones ...
With jamming.

"It displays data on the air defense system" ///

Which SAM?

[_Ugene_]

Do you mean which specific SAMs Podlet-K1 can display data? there is no such information in open sources, but, considering that this is a new radar, I think it was developed taking into account the air defense systems of our army, otherwise what is the point

[voyaka uh]

"otherwise what's the point in it" ///
----
Put radio interference to the attacking means of the enemy: drones, gliding bombs, cruise missiles.

[_Ugene_]

where did you get that this eW tool? This is a low-altitude combat mode radar. As I understand it, its main goal is the CR, it is imprisoned precisely at low altitudes and a small target epr

[voyaka uh]

My suggestion. In Russia there is no universal SLA with a radar that could give target designation to different complexes. Each complex has its own radar and its own OMS. Therefore, this radar can detect a low-flying, small-sized target (for this, it is on the mast), but cannot lead to missiles to it. Then why is he? Either warn the Shell (so that they switch to active mode), or interfere with the target.

[_Ugene_]

but cannot lead to her missiles

what is this assumption based on? The radar is new, it was developed recently, it could have done target designation, it’s stated in open source specifications, but there’s nothing anywhere about the capabilities of the radar

Strange "But".
This radar function was mandatory for US Navy stations 30 years ago.
What to be proud of?

[g1washntwn]

Please, kindly, that 30 years ago, someone unobtrusive (stealth), too, could capture and accompany at voiced distances.

[The seventh]

. stealth (stealth), too, could capture and accompany at voiced distances.

...
.. if noticeable at 250km. then little --- noticeable at 100km. ....

[g1washntwn]

There was a scandal about the violation of the secrecy regime due to the fact that the ship and AWACS could not control these "stealth" at medium and long distances. It seems to be the usual mouse fuss between the Air Force and the Navy, but it is indicative of the level of their capabilities to detect their own (relative to the country of the military-industrial complex) stealth technologies. Now the situation is most likely a little different, but no one will admit to you in favor of the capabilities of marine radars or network centrics.

[Elephant]

Let's see if Israeli provocations stop ...

[Klim chugunkin]

And here is Stealth and ballistic missiles? This is a radar for operation at low and extremely low altitudes. The radar rises on the mast above the ground to a certain height and thereby increases the radio horizon and the ability to detect cruise missiles low-flying targets mainly. Most likely, the decision to place the Approach was made after the US missile attacks in 2017 and 2018. Late in the course, of course, it was necessary to do this earlier ...

[_Ugene_]

everything is true, but in general it’s up to 9-10 km. detection limit, but this radar, of course, has no relation to ballistic missiles

[spectr]

Until I realized what the news was. Recently on Zvezda they showed the program "Military acceptance. Radar special forces." There it was openly said that there were flights in Syria. Where exactly the truth was not specified.

[vladnp]

The news is that they are "newest" again

[gregor6549]

The missions of this radar of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation started back in 2015. Here is some information about her http://militaryrussia.ru/blog/topic-872.html.
This is, in fact, the next generation of low-altitude radars. There is nothing new, except for a solid-state three-coordinate HEADLIGHT in this radar. This radar also does not differ in especially steep characteristics. 200 air targets (tracks) simultaneously tracked by this radar is nothing more than a fairy tale that has nothing to do with reality, as well as its extraordinary ability to detect air targets created using modern stealth technologies.

[spectr]

200 simultaneously accompanied by a given radar air targets (tracks) is nothing but a fairy tale

Why a fairy tale?

[gregor6549]

Because in such radars, the processes of detecting air targets, their identification, setting them for tracking (setting tracks) and tracking these targets require the mandatory presence of a human operator. The number of operators in such radars as a rule does not exceed 2 - 3 people whose performance in detecting, identifying, setting up for tracking and tracking these air targets is very limited, even if the corresponding radar software is available to help them. Therefore, the number of tracking targets that can be achieved in such radars is of the order of 30 to 40 and then in the absence of interference.
Here at the KP ACS Air Defense / Air Force, where information is transmitted on the escorted tracks from subordinate radars, the total number of escorted tracks can reach a more significant figure. But this is the characteristics of the system, and not a separate radar.

[spectr]

So the previous generation radars work. The latter have automatic linkage with the ability to adjust the operator. Therefore, the main limitation is the performance of computing tools.

[san4es]

The Podlyot-K1 radar was developed by Almaz-Antey specialists. For the first time it was delivered to the troops in 2015. Today, these radars continue to enter various air defense units and formations ...
