Four overseas 29Б6 “Container” radars deployed in Russia
According to Makarov, the first Container radar will be handed over to the military at the end of this year after passing state tests. In total, four such stations are planned to be deployed: one each in the west and east of the country, two more will be deployed in the north-west and south directions.
- he said.
The Director General explained that the radar data are designed to detect all types of aerodynamic targets, including airplanes, cruise missiles, hypersonic aircraft and so on. "Container" is able to control flights of any air targets at a distance of about 3 thousand kilometers in the sector 240 degrees. A radar can simultaneously track over 5 of thousands of airborne objects of various types, including small ones.
At the same time, according to Makarov, the station has a "dead zone", so it was decided to build such stations in the interior of the country.
- explained the general director.
At present, on experimental combat duty from December 1 last year, there is one new generation 29Б6 "Container" radar. The receiving complex of the station is located in Mordovia near the village of Kovylkino, and the transmitter of the station is located in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The radar controls the airspace over Europe to great depths.
