It includes a radar station capable of detecting, tracking and controlling the use of the national airspace, and BRDM-2M armored reconnaissance and patrol vehicles upgraded to the modern level in their class," Russia’s Central Military District Commander Colonel-General Alexander Lapin was quoted as saying by TASS.
