By 2030, the missile attack warning system (MSRN) of the Russian Armed Forces will completely switch to Voronezh high-readiness radar stations (RLS). This was announced on February 16 by the head of the Main Center for Missile Attack Warning of the Space Forces of the Aerospace Forces of Russia Sergey Suchkov.
According to him, in the future until 2030, the development of early warning systems provides for the modernization of a number of high-factory readiness radars that are on combat duty in the Krasnodar Territory, the Irkutsk Region, and the creation in the Leningrad Region of new means with improved performance characteristics and enhanced protection against interference.
“The introduction of these stations into the early warning system will ensure the completion of the rearmament of the early warning system with a new generation radar,” Suchkov said in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.
He noted that now the new Voronezh radars of high factory readiness are already on combat duty in the Leningrad, Kaliningrad, Irkutsk, Orenburg regions, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk and Altai regions. The “veterans” of the early warning missile system also continue to be on combat duty – the recently upgraded Dnepr radar in the Murmansk region, the Daryal radar in Komi and the Volga in Belarus.
The new Voronezh radars can be quickly and easily built, as well as modernized if such a need arises during operation. Radars of previous generations had a rigid static architecture, their design was formed during the development process and practically did not change until the end of operation.
Earlier, on August 26, 2021, it was reported that the radar station of the Russian early warning system of the Voronezh type is planned to be upgraded to the level of the newest Yakhroma station, which is being built in the Crimea. It was noted that the Yakhroma stations would have greater noise immunity than existing analogues.
In April of the same year, it was reported that airspace control in the Arctic was strengthened by 1L119 Sky-SVU radars. Unlike the Nebo-M radar stations recently delivered to the Northern Fleet, the new complex operates only on meter waves, is more compact and mobile.
In February 2021, Sergey Saprykin, General Designer of the Research Institute for Long-Range Radio Communications (part of the RTI holding), said that Russian early warning radars had been successfully tested on hypersonic targets.
