BarnaulRadar.png
Google Earth now has images of the new Voronezh-DM radar in Barnaul (thank you, Bernd). As earlier reports indicated, the radar site is located not far from the village of Konyukhi, at 53°08'21.1"N 83°40'52.5"E (but Google Maps doesn't show the new imagery yet).

What a difference a year makes - since the last update in August 2013, we now can see three more early-warning radars - in Yeniseysk (Voronezh-DM), near Barnaul (Voronezh-DM), and near Orsk (Voronezh-M). The Yeniseysk radar covers very much the...

So the azimuth does face toward China/SEA and not toward US like the old Krasnoyarsk radar. Interesting.

I wonder if we'll see another N-N-E facing radar?

Good point. China is covered by Irkutsk/Mishelevka and Balkhash, but one more radar would be good to have. I don't think anything is planned, though. Maybe Orsk?

As far as we can see on GE Jenisseisk is facing N-N-E
58.505198° 92.044076°.
In so far this is the replacement for the old Krasnojarsk Radar at 57.868860° 93.111396°

The one in Krasnoyarsk, maybe?

That one is supposedly (http://itar-tass.com/politika/1323230) going to start operations by the end of this year, but the location of the old Daryal seems currently unoccupied on Google and I don't know which way it will be facing.

artjomh: No, Krasnoyarsk/Yeniseisk is looking in a different direction - http://russianforces.org/blog/2014/06/voronezh-dm_radar_in_yeniseysk.shtml

Pavel, from your link, the radar at Yeniseysk seems to be looking north-east.

[artjomh ] [September 18, 2014] [#]

Pavel, now also it is possible to see the Orsk radar image dated on June 10, 2014 on Google Earth.

[Alexander Stukalin ] [September 18, 2014] [#]

Great. Do you have the coordinates?

[Pavel Podvig ] [September 18, 2014] [#]

Didn't the array at Balkhash burn down a few years ago?

[Alex] [September 19, 2014] [#]

Coordinates from Google Earth:
51°16'25.5"N 58°57'32.8"E
