The radar's main element is the antenna. It’s clearly visible in the Orenburg steppe. The height of this object, if comparable to an apartment building, about 12 stories. The station's coverage area is from the Taklamakan desert to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It can protect against missiles from the Middle East, southern Europe, the Arabian Peninsula and northern Africa.
Alexander Samoilov, Eastern Troop Commander: "The radar station is in a state of high readiness, the Voronezh system, working in the meter range was quickly made in the Orsk region and underwent government testing, and has entered combat duty".
