Military thinking about resuscitation Crimean radar "Dnepr"
After the restoration of the station warning missile strike can be used to monitor the situation in the Black Sea
Moscow. July 28. INTERFAX.RU - The Russian Defense Ministry is studying the possibility of restoration and modernization of the radar missile warning "Dnepr", stationed in Sevastopol, "Interfax" a source familiar with the situation. "The experts appreciated the technical condition of the radar facility in Sebastopol. Study the possibility of resuscitation and modernization in favor of missile and air defense," - said the agency interlocutor. At the same time, he said, to a plan to radically modernize Sevastopol. It is fundamentally about how to install a new radar filling the new generation, which will significantly increase the performance characteristics of the Sevastopol radars. Commenting on the announcement, former commander of the Army missile warning Lieutenant General Nikolai Rodionov said that radar "Dnepr" after the upgrade will be useful to monitor the situation in the Black Sea, and the recovery will not require much effort, as the station is in a satisfactory condition. "As far as I know, the decision to upgrade the radar in Sevastopol can be taken in the near future. This is quite true, as the station covers all the Black Sea. Extra information does not happen" - said Rodionov "Interfax". Radar "Dnepr" of missile attack warning (EWS) in Sevastopol until the beginning of 2009 stood with a similar village to Mukachevo (Transcarpathia, Ukraine) on duty in the interests of the Russian Federation in accordance with the Russian-Ukrainian agreement of 1997. The information in these radar leading space surveillance over Central and Southern Europe, as well as the Mediterranean, came to a central command post EWS Russian Space Forces. Similar stations "Dnepr" operate today in Russia, including in Murmansk and Irkutsk. Station "Dnipro" in Sevastopol bedspreads, including the Middle East, and was able to pinpoint the ballistic missiles of various ranges based on 2,5 - 3,5 thousand km. In February 2008, Russia completes governmental testing station of a new series of "Voronezh-DM" in Armavir, unilaterally withdrew from the Ukrainian-Russian intergovernmental agreement on EWS 1997 and renounced the use of Ukrainian radar information.

Updated map of Russian early-warning radars
What a difference a year makes - since the last update in August 2013, we now can see three more early-warning radars - in Yeniseysk (Voronezh-DM), near Barnaul (Voronezh-DM), and near Orsk (Voronezh-M).
The Yeniseysk radar covers very much the same sector that was supposed to be covered by the old Daryal radar that was built nearby in the 1980s. The radars in Barnaul and Orsk look almost directly South.
Here is an updated Google Earth file that shows locations of the new (and old) radars and the sectors they cover.

Russian Federation will launch the first new satellites, missile warning in 2015
Yalta, October 3. / TASS /. First satellites from the future orbital constellation of space-tier system of missile warning will be launched next year, told Trend. TASS CEO "Radio Engineering Institute. Mints" (RTI) and general designer Sergei Loot system.
He recalled that the now developed a single space system, which will be the space echelon of the missile attack warning.
"First launches will be in the next year", - assured the fighting. He, however, did not specify how many satellites will in future grouping.
According to the fights, the results obtained by the developers of a single space system in the corporation "Comet", "give confidence that the first test, and the first launches will be successful." "Ultimately, we build up to the desired composition of the group," - he added.
CEO of RTI noted that the new satellites will have a number of new features, they will integrate new solutions.
While Western sanctions, according to the head of the company, should not seriously affect the timing of, or the quality of performance of the system. "We have long been engaged in the development of electronic-component base, and I expect that we will have a number of solutions to replace their imported" - said the fighting.'
Earlier it was reported that in April, stopped working last geostationary satellite system "Eye-1", created in the 1990s to detect launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles. Then, the military said that of the six devices, operating on highly elliptical orbit, there were only two, because of what they can accomplish their tasks only three hours a day. Nevertheless, in the space industry have stated that the loss of the satellite will not affect the effectiveness of the system of missile warning, which is based mainly on the ground radar stations. At the same time experts have stated that the first satellite of this system will be launched into orbit by the end of the year.System Reconnaissance
Engineering design of the system of aerospace exploration completed this year, said fights.
"We will finish this year, technical design, then will be the stage of development of the design documentation," - said the agency interlocutor.
As explained TASS source in the defense industry, in Russia, a system of aerospace defense, one component of which will be referred to aerospace exploration. "This component must provide information on detected targets for weapons. He must track promising means of destruction, including clean space" - said the source.Station "Voronezh" will be launched by 2018
New radar station "Voronezh-DM" and "Voronezh-M" ground echelon of the Russian system of missile warning (EWS) will be commissioned in time, certain fights.
He recalled that this year must earn passing state tests now station in Irkutsk and Kaliningrad regions.
"Today we are actively preparing for the statement on the pilot alert two more stations - Barnaul and Orsk" - added Loot.
Earlier it was reported that by the end of the year can step up experimental combat duty station "Voronezh-DM" in the Altai and Krasnoyarsk territories.
"We expect that we will have time to do so, as promised supreme commander. We promised two years ahead of time to do everything, not 2020, and 2018. As we walk in the schedule, and I am absolutely convinced that we have this chart will survive, "- said the agency interlocutor.Complexes S- and L-band
RTI is developing a mobile radar systems operating in S- and L-bands (frequency ranges 1-2 and 2-4 GHz). The use of these bands will allow stations to operate with greater precision, also reported fighting.
"We are currently developing a new generation of stations that will be mobile and will be based on the sea or land mobile systems (including rail or road)", - said the fighting.
It is said that the new station would operate "is not in meters not decimetres, they will be the S-band, L-band", wherein the wavelength ranges from 7.5 to 15 and from 15 to 30 cm, respectively.
According to him, RTI must complete the development in 2015, and already in 2016 to start the construction and testing of a new generation stations.
"This is different from anything we've done before, - the source said. - Today, this range is considered to be very promising, here we go almost at the same pace with the Americans, who are also very active in developing such systems."

Two new generation radars to be commissioned ahead of time in Russia's Siberia
The deadlines for deploying new generation Voronezh-M and Voronezh-DM radars were revised and moved from 2020 to 2018 in view of US plans for deploying missile defense systems in Europe and Alaska.
MOSCOW, February 17. /TASS/. The Russian Defense Ministry has tightened the deadlines for commissioning two new generation missile attack early warning radars, the general director of the Minsk Radio Engineering Institute, Sergey Boyev, told the media on Tuesday.
"The Defense Ministry has asked us to commission two more facilities ahead of time. We will do our best, of course. There are updated schedules already. The concern’s entire industrial segment has been shifted to a more intensive mode of operation," he said.
Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu issued orders to ensure the radars’ early commissioning in late 2014. Besides, the deadlines for deploying new generation Voronezh-M and Voronezh-DM radars have been revised and moved from 2020 to 2018 in view of US plans for deploying missile defense systems in Europe and Alaska.
The plans for building radars in other regions of the country are proceeding in accordance with plans.
"Then there will follow the other radars - in Orsk (the Urals), Murmansk and Vorkuta (the Arctic). Everything will be accomplished on time," Boyev said.
The high factory readiness radars from the Mints Radio Engineering Institute possess far higher technical and tactical parameters than the previous generation radars. They consume far less energy, take up far less space and require fewer personnel. The Voronezh-DM radar has a range of 6,000 kilometers. It is capable of identifying, tracking and classifying modern and future air and space attack weapons, including ballistic and aerodynamic ones.

After all is about how much enemys you can see, how far you can, how much missiles and ICBMs. And early warning means you have time to push the button called "defense"

Russia Begins Construction of Anti-Missile Radar in Arctic
The construction and renovation of the missile attack warning system is set to be completed by 2020, according to the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Construction of a cutting-edge missile attack early warning radar station has begun in the Arctic, Russia’s Aerospace Defense Forces Deputy Commander said Saturday.
"Just the other day, on September 24, in the north of the country in Vorkuta, we laid the foundation stone in the construction of new early-warning radar, which will not only replace our stations in Pechora and Olenegorsk but will also supplement them," Maj. Gen. Anatoly Nestechuk told the Rusnovosti radio station.
Nestechuk added that the Usolye-Sibirskoye radar station was currently tracking all missile launches from the territories of China, the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean.

Forewarned is Forearmed: Russia Boosts Its Missile Defense Capabilities
Using a new type of radar, Russia is about to establish a global early warning network rivaling that of the USSR.
According to the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper, the mainstay of this global defense system will be formed of the third generation Voronezh-type radar stations.
The Voronezh-class radar system includes three variants, including the Voronezh M, Voronezh-DM (using VHF and UHF), and the Voronezh-VP 'high potential', assumed to be EHF (extremely high frequency). The system's range is between 4,500 – 6,000 km, and it is capable of detecting objects at a height of up to 4,000 km.
Furthermore, Voronezh-class radar is made of factory-built modules and can therefore be rapidly constructed in about a year and a half, while it usually takes from 5 to 9 years to build a radar station of equal capabilities.
Following the dissolution of the USSR, Russia's early warning capability was dealt a severe blow as many of its elements located in the former Soviet republics were promptly shut down by the new authorities. Now however, with the implementation of cutting-edge technologies, the new network is set to surpass its Soviet predecessor and provide early-warning coverage for the entire territory of Russia.
Meanwhile, Russian Armed Forces have deployed two batteries of K-300P Bastion coastal defense missile systems at the Kola Peninsula. According to the Izvestiya newspaper, the deployed weapons cover about 1,500 kilometers of Russia’s coastline in the region and effectively transform a sizeable portion of the Barents Sea into a 'dead zone' for NATO warships.
A K-300P battery consists of 12 mobile launchers equipped with P-800 Oniks anti-ship missiles with a range of 300 kilometers.
Following a recent deployment of this type of missile launchers to Crimea, Russia can now engage and destroy any hostile target in both the Black Sea and the Barents Sea, the newspaper remarks, pointing out that the country’s Ministry of Defense didn’t specify where it might deploy these weapons next.

Re: Voronezh EW radar: News
Aegis in Romania! Two can play at that game.
Russia will modernize an early warning radar station located near Sevastopol in Crimea to detect possible missile launches from the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, according to the newspaper Izvestia.
The Russian Defense Ministry plans to restore and modernize the Dnepr early warning radar station near Sevastopol, Crimea, the newspaper Izvestia quoted a source in the military-industrial complex as saying on Tuesday. When restored, the station will be capable of tracking down hypersonic, cruise and ballistic missiles launched from ships in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea at ranges of up to 3,000 kilometers.
The source said that the Dnepr station's equipment will operate in the super-high frequency band, which is expected to increase the effectiveness of the Russian radar station in the city of Armavir, which operates in the ultra-high frequency band. Izvestia quoted military expert Vadim Kozyulin as saying that the Dnepr radar station will help provide Russia with all-round defense against sophisticated missile attacks. " For example, it takes a US Tomahawk cruise missile about two hours to reach Moscow, and duly detecting such a missile will be precisely the task of the new Russian radar station near Sevastopol," Kozyulin said.
The Dnepr early warning radar was built in 1968 and was used to monitor the Black Sea, Southern and Central Europe, as well as parts of the Middle East. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 it was transferred to Ukrainian sovereignty, but continued to provide data for the Russian military under lease. In 2009, Russia canceled the deal due to the fact that the Dnepr radar's coverage could be substituted by a new Voronezh radar station in Armavir.

Re: Voronezh EW radar: News
New early-warning radar in Olenegorsk is under construction
Construction of the new early-warning radar at the Olenegorsk site began in the spring of 2016. At this point it's just a hole in the ground and the flat terrain makes geolocation rather difficult. But the new site is probably not far from the old Dnepr/Daugava site.
This is probably the last in the series of new early-warning radars that Russia will build in the coming years. At least that was the plan in 2013. It appears that the new Olenegorsk radar will be of the Voronezh-VP type, similar to those built in Mishelevka and Vorkuta.
