The aerospace forces of our Motherland received a flying radar for service. This is an A-50U aircraft. In its capabilities included to catch the approach of the enemy at long distances with the help of radar.
It is noteworthy, as noted in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, that there is no salvation from low-flying, or hardly noticeable flying objects from the new radar. That is, neither stealth planes, nor cruise missiles, nor low-flying helicopters are guaranteed that they will not be noticed.
Tests of the flying radar ended literally the other day. In the course of all sorts of checks, he showed his best side. To date, the DRLO A-50U air-assault radar has already found its permanent crew and has been delivered to the place of permanent deployment - to the city of Ivanovo. This is the fifth aircraft of such a destination.
Recall that the old, still Soviet era DRLO A-50 aircraft are now undergoing a profound modernization. Their main feature today is that they have acquired a new radio engineering complex with improved characteristics. In addition, the new air radar itself suggests all the modern air defense systems to the objects it has discovered. Previously, such a plane could technically interact only with the MiG-31, then the current one cooperates in protecting the peaceful sky and with fighters of various types, and with anti-aircraft systems, as well as attack aircraft and even bombers. In addition, the A-50U has the ability of a kind of air traffic control in the places of its patrol.
