Recently, articles on Russian armaments have become popular in Habré. Not about ordinary tanks or airplanes, but about really interesting projects. Since at one time I was very fond of weapons, and even now I work for the defense industry, I decided to write this article. If you like, then continue the series of such articles.
Daryal-type radar is an integral part of the Russian missile attack warning system. The most powerful radar in the world. At a distance of 6000 km, it is able to detect and recognize a warhead the size of a soccer ball. Because of its extraordinary power, Americans were afraid to make even training launches in the direction of the USSR.
1995
May 4, 1995 in Skrunda, the city of sovereign Latvia, was blown up by Daryal radars by Americans. The Americans promised a grand show. First, we launched fireworks along the building, and then blew up the supporting structures. The building collapsed on itself.
The next day, all American newspapers came out with the headline "We blew up the Russian space defense."
But the Americans miscalculated. The strength in our missile defense system was such that even the loss of one station did not weaken our defense at all. The missile defense system still controls all possible strike directions.
