New Russian Early Warning Radar Network Installation & Etc.

[Winston]

Very impressive, extremely so for a country with a GDP less than California or Texas. Makes one wonder how much bloat there is in military contracts here. A tour of their new radar site, command center, prior-generation ground facilities, and a very little bit on their space-based early warning network. They lost much of their early warning network after the collapse of the Soviet Union since many sites were in what became independent countries. Tons of cool stuff I suspect has never before been seen by any public anywhere. A fascinating video for anyone interested in such stuff. BTW, the one in the video's still image is NOT the newest system which is awesome.

"The Voronezh radars are described as highly prefabricated meaning that they have a set up time of months rather than years and need fewer personnel than previous generations. They are also modular so that a radar can be brought into (partial) operation whilst being incomplete. "

I like it, but I don’t speak Russian.

Turn on auto-translate. It sucks with Russian, but it's better than nothing.

The system in the opening part of the video was the one I was most impressed with. That's the VHF/UHF system to detect stealth aircraft (although for some strange reason the Wikipedia article doesn't mention that even though the Ruskies in the video do) which is also impressive.
