The latest radar "Yenisei" - a super-modern and versatile means of aerial reconnaissance, capable of tracking even hypersonic targets-has been adopted. This was reported by the weekly newspaper "Zvezda".

Most of the characteristics of this radar station, which in the future should become the " eyes "of the promising S-500" Prometheus " air defense system, still remains classified. Suffice it to say that the only time it appeared in public was in April 2018 during an exercise in the Astrakhan region, and since then there has been no news about the development.

One of the key features of the "Yenisei", in contrast to the standard radar of the S-400 "Triumph" complex, is the ability to work continuously for a long time and in automatic mode. Therefore, now the Yenisei radar has also been used as part of the S-400, along with the 96L6 all-altitude detector, in order to increase the efficiency of the complex.

The latest radar is able to detect air objects, both "own" and "foreign", at an altitude of more than 100 kilometers and at a distance of more than 600 kilometers, this also applies to hypersonic missiles. At the same time, the work is not carried out by sector, but by a round-robin review. The jammers will not be able to confuse the "Yenisei" either, their impact is blocked by remote posts. It takes only five minutes for the radar to be fully operational.
