Russia claims the radar can detect targets the size of a "football ball" at a distance of 8000 km. [2] Voronezh-VP (77Ya6-VP) works in the meter range and was designed by RTI Mints. The only one built has 6 segments instead of the 3 of the Voronezh-M. [9] A Voronezh-M is claimed to cost 2.85 billion rubles and a Voronezh-DM 4.3 billion rubles. [10]

It was developed by NPK NIIDAR, which is also a developer of Voronezh-DM radar. The chief designer was Valentin Strelkin, [1] and the system's price was 10 billion rubles.

The Soviet Union announced that the new radar was for space surveillance rather than for early warning of missile attack, and hence was compliant with the ABM treaty. The radar was given the designation OS-3 (OS-1 was Mishelevka and OS-2 Balkhash) rather than an RO- designation which would be associated with an early warning site. [2]

The successor system, dubbed 'Samolet-M' (and more recently A-235) will employ a new, conventional, variant of the 53T6 missile to be deployed in the former 51T6 silos. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] [ 18 ] The new PRS-1M is a modernized variant of the PRS-1 (53T6) and can use nuclear or conventional warheads.
