The latest radios "Niobium-SV" cover the Crimea and the south of Russia
The first batch of serial Niobium-SV radars will arrive in the Southern Military District by the end of this year. The main task of the new radars is to protect the south of the country and the Crimean peninsula from a possible threat of US missile defense systems in Romania, which were created in order to hide ground-based offensive systems aimed at Russia under the guise of "protection against the Iranian threat."
The new three-coordinate radar station "Niobium-SV" was created specifically for the air defense of the Ground Forces. The main task is to detect, track and determine the ownership of air objects of all types - aircraft, helicopters, cruise and ballistic missiles, as well as drones. The stations operate in the meter range and perfectly "see" the American "stealth". The radars are mobile, located on the KamAZ chassis and can operate around the clock for a long time.
According to the military, the deployment of several Niobium-SV stations on the Crimean peninsula will allow controlling the entire Black Sea, while the radars located in the south will cover the entire southern direction of Russia.
As previously reported, the 1L125 "Niobium-SV" meter-range standby radar was developed by the Federal Research and Production Center Nizhny Novgorod Research Institute of Radio Engineering JSC (NNIIRT), which is part of the Almaz-Antey Air and Space Defense Concern JSC . The first prototypes of the latest radar were delivered to the air defense units of the Central Military District for pilot operation.
