Voronezh-DM radar in Yeniseysk

Yeniseysk2014.pngRussia is moving fairly quickly to complete construction of an early-warning radar in Yeniseysk/Krasnoyarsk. The recently updated Google Earth imagery shows the almost completed radar site - it is at 58.506095° 92.046072° (many thanks to BR for locating the radar). It is Voronezh-DM radar, similar to those built in Armavir and Kaliningrad (this was already noted in the comments last year).

The radar is a bit to the West from the Yeniseysk-Ust Kem line along the Yenisey river (and it is about 4 km from Ust Kem, not seven, as was stated in some documents).

The Yeniseysk site looks very much like the one in Barnaul, where another Voronezh-DM radar is being built. Both radars are expected to begin operations in 2014.

Thanks for the update Bernd

Any idea what the V shaped builings are to the NE?

Probably just a pig farm ha ha ha, but looks interesting

I think you are talking about Mishelevka?!
This is the old "Hen House" Radar.
If I'm not mistaken there were
4 pcs Dnestr-M/Dnepr (straight array) radars errected in 1972-76 and
1 pc Daugava (V-array) radar (also used for space surveillance) errected 1968
Cheers

Bernd: Daugava is a prototype transmitter station for Daryal. The only one was deployed in Olenegorsk.
