RANGE /Astrakhan Region/, June 24. /TASS/. A radar shield to detect low-flying
targets, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has been put into operation
above all major Russian cities, a senior Russian military official has told
TASS.
"At present, we
have a low-altitude radar field in operation above all major Russian
cities," said Maj. Gen. Andrei Koban, the commander of the Radio-Technical
Troops of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
"We are focused
on re-arming the troops with advanced systems and automated control equipment,
[with] systems that can control the airspace in the automated mode," he
said. "This goal has already been reached in the Moscow zone."
Another priority area
is creating a radar network to control airspace in Russia’s Arctic zone, Koban
added.
