The radar station in Mordovia is capable of detecting air targets at a distance of up to 3,000 kilometers.
Ukrainian kamikaze drones attacked for the second time a Russian military facility in Mordovia, where an over-the-horizon radar station operates under the designation 29B6 container. This station is very important for the Russians, reports a specialized publication Defense Express on Wednesday, April 17.
Time period from the beginning of radar development container It took almost 15 years before transitioning to full combat duty.
Development and production of 29B6 container took place from 1995 to 2000.
In the period from 2002 to 2012, tests were conducted and, accordingly, this station was refined to the required condition.
The “Full” combat role of this station, according to Russian propagandists, began only in 2019.
The station is the most powerful radar at the disposal of the Russian Federation and exists in one copy. It is capable of detecting air targets at a distance of up to 3,000 kilometers.
Let’s remember that the American magazine Newsweek found a “crossing” of the so-called “red line” of the Russian Federation due to the fact that the drone attack was carried out on the over-the-horizon radar 29B6 Container, located nearby in the city of Kovilkino in Mordovia.
