Two more radars will start operating in the Arctic by the end of 2021 - in Gremikha and Zapolyarny. General Director Alexander Shramchenko added that the radar station in Zapolyarnoye, which is 30 kilometers from the border with Norway, will allow for round-the-clock control of the airspace over the northern territories of Norway and Finland.

The Resonant-N radars operate in the meter range, they will detect air objects, including those made using stealth technology: aerodynamic - at a range of 600 kilometers, ballistic-up to 1.2 thousand kilometers at an altitude of up to one hundred kilometers.
