Preventive “strike” on Western missile defense systems - commissioning of the Voronezh-DM radar
In response to the creation of the NATO Eurocomponent of Missile Defense, the head of the Russian Federation, D. Medvedev, 22.11.2011, issued an order to immediately put the Voronezh-DM radar on combat duty. A week later, an early warning radar station was launched into a missile attack warning system.The head of the Russian Federation, who was present at the solemn ceremony of putting the radar on combat duty, said that if this signal is not correctly assessed by NATO countries, then Russia will have no choice but to begin deploying new and mothballed countermeasures against the veiled aggression of the North Atlantic Alliance.
Before commissioning, the station worked all year in a test pilot-test mode, during which no major failures were found.
The station itself is installed in the Kaliningrad region, in the town of Pionersky. The radar completely covers even the areas of responsibility of stations located in Baranovichi and Mukachevo. From the first of December all the stations will work in the system of the united East Kazakhstan region, which will include all the systems and systems of air defense and missile defense, as well as space control systems.
The Voronezh-DM radar station operates in the decimeter frequency range and is made according to the “high factory readiness” system, which means the station is capable of high mobility if necessary. Voronezh-DM is a modular type station (total 23 technical module), and can be installed within 18-24 months. For example, the Daryal station has more than 4000 blocks and is deployed within 60-100 months.

The station is able to control the entire territory of Europe and the Atlantic, detect objects located in the fields of air and airless space, accompany them and transmit all the information collected about the objects to the control point.On the armament of the Russian Federation together with this station are already three "Voronezh" - this radar, the radar "Voronezh-M" in Lekhtusi and the radar "Voronezh-DM" in the city of Armavir. The construction of the Voronezh-VP radar, which will be on a database in the city of Usolye-Sibirskoe, to control the territory of China, is continuing.
The Voronezh-DM radar can continuously monitor up to half a thousand different objects at a distance of up to 6 000 kilometers.
The basis of the station is an antenna phased array, a quickly assembled module for service personnel and a number of containers with technical equipment, which allows not only to quickly install, but also to replace or upgrade at the lowest cost. Energy consumption is reduced compared to existing stations and is less than one megawatt, the Daryal radar system consumes 50 times more electricity.
The cost of the complex was announced back in 2008 year and is approximately equal to 3 billion rubles, the Daryal radar, built in Azerbaijan, cost Russia almost 20 billion rubles.
