The P-35 ("Сатурн" : Saturn) also referred to by the NATO reporting name in the west is a 2D E band/F band[2] radar developed and operated by the former Soviet Union.

The P-35 was developed by the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Radio Engineering (VNIIRT) as an early warning ground control and interception radar for the Soviet Air Defence Forces, airforce, and navy of the Soviet Union. Saturn was a development of an earlier radar design, the P-30 radar with which it shares many similarities. By 1958 the radar had completed state trials and was accepted into service, offering improved detection range and reliability than the previous P-30.
