Russian Aerospace Forces' radio-technical troops get over 70 new radars annually - troops' chief

MOSCOW. Dec 18 (Interfax) - The Radio-Technical Troops of the Russian Aerospace Forces receive dozens of brand new radiodetection stations and complexes per year as part of defense procurement, the Troops' chief Maj. Gen. Andrei Koban said.

"Each year our radio-technical units receive over 70 modern and prospective radiodetection stations and complexes. The equipping of the radio-technical units' command and control centers will the Fundament automatic complexes will be completed in 2017," the general told Life Zvuk radio station.

Today Russian defense companies are developing for the Defense Ministry "means of radiodetection and complexes of means of automation, which have no foreign analogues," the general said.

In 2016 the Radio-Technical Troops received Podlyot and Nebo-UM next-generation radiodetection stations and the Nebo-M complex which can detect stealth aircraft. Also, an automatic radiodetection station called Obnovleniye-PVO was developed and has entered service.

"One of the key areas of developing the radio technical troops' armament is developing means of radiodetection to detect all types of aerial objects operating at low and extremely low altitudes," Koban said.

The number of radars entering service in the radio-technical troops has increased more than tenfold over the past five years, the general said.

Prospective radiodetection stations and complexes will be capable of detecting cruise missiles, drones and hang gliders, he said.

"Prospective means of radio detection should be able to detect and track low-flying targets, including small-sized ones: cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and low-speed ones, including hang gliders," he said.

In addition, they will be able to "see" aerial targets against the backdrop of intense reflections from the earth, local objects and hydrometeo-formations.

"Another important criterion is having as part of radiodetection complexes remote radiodetection modules that operate autonomously, without the team," Koban said.

December 15 marked the 65th anniversary since the formation of the Radio-Technical Troops.
