The head of the Russian Defense Ministry inspected combat duty at a new object of the outer space control system

Russia continues to develop its defense potential by putting modern systems on combat alert. One of the facilities on which the latest radar operates was visited today by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

The head of the Russian military department checked the combat duty at the new object of the outer space control system. The visit took place within the framework of the minister’s working trip to the troops of the Western Military District, сообщается in the department's TG channel.

The material says that Colonel-General Alexander Golovko, who holds the position of Commander of the Space Forces and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces, made a report on the prospects and functionality of the facility.

According to the military, the new radar has unique characteristics. Thus, the commissioning of this equipment made it possible to track objects up to 10 cm in size in the near-Earth space. At the same time, the time of their detection after launch was reduced by 2 times, and the number of tracked objects increased by 4 times.

Regarding the future development of the space control system, the head of the Russian Defense Ministry was informed that a further increase in the observation area by 2027 will allow the Russian Space Forces to halve the time for identifying foreign spacecraft, including their assignment. In this case, the object detection time will be reduced by 2 times.

Finally, Pavel Sozinov, deputy director of Almaz-Antey Concern VKO (the company that developed the new system), added that this radar is unique in its kind and has no analogues, both domestically and abroad.

"TASS quotes Lukashenka's words to the Russia-1 channel:
“The draft treaty on the cessation of hostilities, which was discussed by the delegations of Russia and Ukraine in the spring of 2022 in Istanbul, assumed agreements on Crimea and Donbass. Normal. Even in the Crimea, there is some kind of long-term lease, in the Donbass in the east. Normal contract.
That is, if, according to Lukashenka's statement, Russia would pay "some kind of long-term rent there" for Crimea, this means that Ukraine would be considered the owner of Crimea. So?
I would like to receive a comment from Medinsky, who then headed the Russian delegation.
Lukashenka cannot but understand what a blow to the Russian authorities he deals with this statement. Interesting - why? "Mardan. Well, who are they after that? Grain deal, oil and gas, Lukoil with fuel for Banderlogs. Isn't it too much for the Supreme Non-Commander?

It is unlikely that Medinsky carried a "gag" at these negotiations.

[VB]

You are absolutely right, Medinsky is too smart and educated to carry a gag. I am sure that he has a paper with a signature in his stash. Someday she will shoot. In all states of the world, except Russia, an investigation into these events would have already begun, with the subsequent submission of some to a military court, others to an ordinary one. We will have nothing for the Non-Commander and his entourage. "The people are silent." Direct treason to the motherland in front of Russia.

The commissioning of this equipment made it possible to track objects up to 10 cm in size in near-Earth space.

And will the S-500 be used to destroy such an object?

[Napayz]

semantic emphasis on will or C-500?

C-500

Are we talking about the Voronezh SM radar? What do you think?
