military, radar station
This site began as a detection station for the IS anti-satellite system, with four Dnestr radars to detect and track US military satellites. Later a missile-warning function was added in the form of the Dnepr and Daryal radars, oriented toward China and US Polaris sub patrol areas in the Pacific. A third generation of missile-warning radars is now being constructed nearby.
