Today Russia celebrates the Day of the Air Defense Forces, and their personnel carry out their difficult and dangerous service in the zone of the special military operation. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published video footage of the operation of the Niobium radar, the specifics of which the head of the radar station talks about.
Radar "Niobium" is engaged in scanning airspace within a radius 50 kilometers. With the help of the radar, hundreds of objects in the air are simultaneously monitored. The station determines the type of objects, their belonging to a particular state. If dangerous targets are detected, then the information is transmitted to the command post. There is a decision, which air defense unit will be engaged in escorting an air target and its subsequent destruction.
As the head of the radar station said, Radar "Niobium" is used to detect and track aerodynamic and ballistic targets by air defense forces. Besides, the station has the function of direction finding of sources of radio interference. The data is processed by the station automatically. Then, the already prepared information is transmitted to the air defense forces for tracking and destroying air targets..
With the help of the Niobium radar station, not only planes and helicopters of the Ukrainian air force are detected in the special operation zone, but also unmanned aerial vehicles, discovering which is far from an easy task.. But the radar station, which recently entered service with the air defense units of the ground forces, successfully copes with these tasks., noted in the Russian military department.
