Russia’s Aerospace Defense Forces will induct some 20 new radar stations this year with systems including different classes and modifications including Gamma-S, Nebo-U and Podlyot-K, as well as modernized Desna and Kasta systems.

Col. Alexei Zolotukhin, a defense ministry spokesperson said that the Russian military had tracked about 40 launches of foreign and domestic ballistic missiles and space rockets last year.

The new radar stations that have been put into operation as part of the Russian missile attack early warning system enable it to track not only ballistic targets and space objects but also aerodynamic targets, he added.

According to Zolotukhin, the system will be even more effective following the creation of the Integrated Space Tracking and Combat Command and Control System
