Russia considers building a new early-warning radar in Crimea

[Drumboy44]

Russian press quotes Sergey Boyev, the chief designer of the early-warning system, as saying that Russia may consider building a new early-warning radar in Crimea, most likely at the site where the Soviet Union deployed a Dnepr radar. The new radar was referred to as Voronezh-SM, where SM stands for "centimeter-range." A shorter-wavelength radar can provide a better tracking accuracy, albeit at shorter ranges.

According to Boyev, the radar that is being built in Vorkuta is also a centimeter-range Voronezh-SM.

Most likely, it is a countermeasure against the deployment of the US missile defense base in Romania and the increased activity of the US Navy in the Mediterranean and Black Seas
