The crews of the Nebo-T radar systems took up combat duty. The complexes of the air defense division of the Central Military District (TsVO) will protect the airspace over the Volga and Ural regions. “Sky-T” was checked with the help of fighters. This is reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the Central Military District.
“Specially for checking radars from airfields in the Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions, multifunctional supersonic Su-34 fighter-bombers of the new generation were raised into the sky, which imitated a possible enemy. The actions of the military personnel made it possible to quickly recognize targets, measure their coordinates and provide escort. The servicemen successfully coped with the assigned tasks,” the message said.
The press service clarified that Nebo-T is a deep modernization of the Nebo-U complex. The new development allows tracking aerodynamic and ballistic targets within a radius of up to 600 kilometers.
Radar stations “Nebo-T” first entered the troops of the Central Military District in January.
In December, it became known about the transfer of the A-50U long-range radar surveillance and guidance aviation complex to the Aerospace Forces (VKS) of Russia. The upgraded aircraft allows you to detect new types of aircraft.
