Russian Radar systems

max steel wrote:Is it true that Russia had a network of early-warning radars and no operational early-warning satellites currently ?

That is correct.

Any Idea why ? Working on modified Early Warning sats and radars?

End of life cycle. Apparently new and better ones are in the works, perhaps next year.

All-Seeing Eye: Russia Poised to Create Next-Gen Radar Station in 3 Years

The use of light will greatly expand the information acquisition capability of modern communications and radars, decreasing weight by half and increasing resolution ten-fold.

DUBAI (Sputnik) — Russia will create by 2018 a prototype next-generation radar station based on radio-optical phased array technology, the first deputy general director of Russian Radio-Electronic Technologies Concern (KRET) said.

"KRET already began laboratory research in radiophotonics to create radio-optical phased arrays to equip its new-generation radar… By 2018 KRET will present a radar prototype," Igor Nasenkov told RIA Novosti in an interview at the Dubai Airshow-2015.

According to Nasenkov, photonic technology, or the use of light, will greatly expand the information acquisition capability of modern communications and radars, decreasing weight by half and increasing resolution ten-fold.

Russia Develops Electronic Warfare System to Counter Aerospace Threats

"We finished developing a new generation of ground EW [electronic warfare reconnaissance system], which will fend off aerospace attacks. It includes the latest electronic intelligence units, which will be able to conduct a more detailed reconnaissance than the Moscow-1 electronic warfare system," Nasenkov told RIA Novosti.

According to Nasenkov, the system will feature several geolocation methods, including triangulation, phase and range difference.

The next-generation system is designed to jam modern and future aerospace radio-electronic equipment, the KRET deputy head added.

KRET, Russia's largest radio-electronics company, was founded in 2009. The umbrella company combines over 95 business entities under Russia’s state technologies corporation Rostec.

In real practice is not big deal.
Is useful to have them but not really game changing why?

Because Russia ground stations radars can cover any launch from Europe ,middle east and Russia far east all the way to Alaska.

and what Russia lost was the Satellite early radars that could track launches from US main land.
that is Silos. But because the majority of nukes of america are in submarines. in a real war
Submarines will do launches close to Russia ,not close to America. Having early warning satellites give some kind a bit of extra information about US biggest nukes in SILOS underground. but again , If Americans ever launch any of them.. they will be visible on Russian
radars once they reach Europe or artic or kamchatka in the far east. The only launches that will not be seen as soon they happen are the ones in central USA.. or eastern coast. Is not a big deal really. The advantage in early warning is only for nukes launched from central USA territory about 20 seconds more extra time. Russia can also create land radars in the far east the can reach central US and not need the early warning radars... but is more cheap a radar
than a big ground station. The early radar sat just expired its life and russia building new ones.
What is important to remember is that SILOS and BIG nukes are the less likely ones to be used.
they have less precision and much biger payload..and the only way they could be used is in a total full scale war mutual assure dest.. The only benefit of the early satellites is that it tells Russia what kind of nuclear attack they will face.. if a small one or an total full scale. doesn't seem like much consolation to me.

The troops of the Russian Federation already have mobile radar that can detect objects at a distance of 1,200 km

"We plan to - radar detection with a range of 1,500 km and a height of 150-600 kilometers," - said the deputy chief of radio troops videoconferencing Russian Colonel Vladimir Fillipovich

MOSCOW, December 12. / TASS /. The radio Russian troops are already in service with mobile radar station (RLS), capable of detecting air and space objects at ranges up to 1,200 kilometers. This was announced on Saturday, the deputy chief of radio troops aerospace forces of Russia colonel Vladimir Filippovich.

"Today, there are radars that can detect objects at a range of 1,200 km and an altitude of 150 km," - he said on the air of "Echo of Moscow". "We plan to - radar detection with a range of 1,500 km and a height of 150-600 kilometers," - he added.

The officer did not specify what kind of radars are meant.

Meanwhile, according to open sources, mobile radars, standing today at the armed forces radio air and space forces of Russia, can detect objects at distances of a maximum of about 400-600 kilometers.

600km?....they'll be detecting satelites at that height if true

Missile-dangerous directions to be controlled by the new radars by 2018

Concern Enterprises “RTI” are able to perform tasks assigned by the government to establish by 2018 a continuous radar field for all missile-dangerous directions, the general director of OAO “RTI”, Chief Designer of early warning system (EWS) Sergey Boev said .

“According to the program, signed by the president, to 2018 all the missile-dangerous directions on the territory of Russia should be controled by continuous radar field. Judging by the pace at which we are working in our factories, in research centers and facilities, I have no doubt that this will be done,” he said in an interview, published on Wednesday, July 29th.

They are using some ancient radar that aren't PESA or AESA, it's easier to get informations about them and jamm them.

Do you have some russian informations about russian radar tracking F-22 in Syria ? Idk russian so I can just search about English and french sources, not the best about russian stuff ...

...What can their (NATO) ELINT/SIGINT collect in Syria? Now that's a real question! Considering how the Pentagon admitted that their having trouble tracking whats going on in Syria. Dat Kras-4 bruh!

And what models are the radars?

It is an ideal opportunity for the S-400 to look at NATO aircraft... wonder where the F-22 has gone now... they kept talking about its first deployment into the ME... not much is said about it at the moment though.

Best place to work out the bugs in a low threat environment.

Experience can only make it even better.
Plus most systems like that have peace time mode and combat mode to prevent giving away operational frequencies and procedures... I am sure it would still be useful in B mode...

Yes, the US said F-22 was deployed in Syria and has bombed ISIS, so far ISIS only grew under US money and arms bombardment, does not let the US military shine not for educated not for MSM sheeps either way. I doubt F-22 ever were deployed there in first place, no effort using F-22 unless they were not strictly and exclusivley used against SAA and their Panzir-S1 and what SHORAD systems there were, intel.

or Educate yourself

F-22 was not conceived as a strike or ground attack platform an aircraft that was built to be the ultimate air-to-air fighter went to war for the first time slinging bombs during Operation Inherent Resolve using GBU-32 JDAM and GBU-39 SDB weapons in 2014.

MOSCOW, 5 April. / TASS /. Modern radar "Sky-Y" entered service division of the Western Military District troops radio (ZVO). The journalists said the head of the press service of the district Colonel Igor Mugina.

"Radar is designed to detect, coordinate measuring and tracking aerial targets different categories of aircraft to cruise and guided missiles, including small size hypersonic ballistic and subtle, using stealth technology" stealth "at a distance of 600 km," - he explained .

The station is able to determine the nationality of the aircraft objects and zapelengovat directors jamming. A station can operate automatically, independently and as part of a control system of the compounds.

"Overall, quality performance gosobonzakaza in the past two years has allowed the complex to re-equip the system of aerospace defense ZVO, thus creating a continuous radar field and providing one hundred percent control of the airspace in the area of ​​responsibility," - said Mugina.

Thanks I don't really remember the keypubs discussion so can we expect S-500 radar to have GaN module or some other radar ?

Dunno, hard to say. I imagine it is the radar that is really holding back the development of S-500 so far as the project has been ongoing for years. And this is from a couple of years ago. So I assume that they either already have it working or are still working on it. Russia has come really far in its development of GaAS modules and there is word and even evidence of Russian GaN modules but we know even less about them. All we know is that Rostec is really behind its development.

what is so special at those Gan modules?
if it is about weight well i think that doesnt matter for a truck like s400.....maibe for a handheld radio or something....

Lighter Weight , Long Life , Twice the Power Output , Twice the Range , Cheaper atleast once it goes into production
