The next stage of the development of the early warning radar network was the effort to deploy large phased-array radars of the Daryal (Pechora) type.13 An important feature of the new radar was that its receiving (or transmitting) station could use the existing Dnepr transmitting (or, correspondingly, receiving) stations. The first pilot receiver of the Daryal (Pechora) type, also known as ... [+]

The Voronezh-DM is an energy-efficient, long-range surveillance radar designed to track ballistic missiles at ranges of up to 4,000 kilometers.
