Work to improve the radar continued. An improved array was designed which covered 60 degrees rather than 30. The first Dnepr radar was built at Balkhash as a new radar, cell 5. It entered service on 12 May 1974. [2] The second was a new early warning station at Sevastopol.
The radar is a Dnepr (NATO name: HEN HOUSE) phased array radar, and was the last one of this type to be built by the Soviet Union. [5] It consists of a central building and two long wings over 250 metres long; each wing is a separate radar array. One had an azimuth of 196° (south west) and the other 260° (facing west). [5]
The radar is a Dnepr (NATO name "Hen House") phased array radar. It consists of a central building and two long wings over 250 metres long; each wing is a separate radar array. One had an azimuth of 172° (facing south) and the other 230° (facing south-east). [5]
Balkhash Radar Station (also described as Sary Shagan radar node and Balkhash-9) is the site of two generations of Soviet and Russian early warning radars. It is located on the west coast of Lake Balkhash near Sary Shagan test site in Kazakhstan .
A radar was built at Mishelevka in Irkutsk on the site of the former, and never operational, Daryal radar which was demolished in 2011. [21] The radar is a Voronezh-VP and is sited close to the former Daryal transmitter building. [22] This radar covers the south and can replace one of the two Dnepr radars at that site.
As of today [when?], the radar appears permanently deactivated and will not likely receive future maintenance because such arrangements were not included as part of the 1992 Russian and Ukrainian talks; with regards to the Dnepr early warning radar systems at Mukachevo and Sevastopol, most of the antenna still stands and is often used by radio ...
It expanded by the addition of Dnestr-M radars in Mishelevka and Balkhash in 1973, a Dnepr radar in Sevastopol in 1975 and another in Mukachevo in 1977. The Daugava radar, a Daryal receiver, started operations in 1975 at Olenegorsk. In 1978 an upgraded warning system called Крокус (Krokus) was introduced.
In 1968, the Dnepr radar was developed, which implemented more advanced signal processing methods. On its basis, radar units of the early warning system were built on the Kola Peninsula, in Transcarpathia, Crimea, Latvian SSR, Kazakh SSR, and Siberia.
