Flashback

"Nebo-SVU" is a Russian radar system designed to detect and follow air targets at long distances. "Nebo-SVU" uses a phased antenna array and operates in the metre wavelength range. According to the manufacturer, this allows the detection of small-sized and low-observable targets, including aircraft with stealth technology. "Nebo-SVU" is integrated into the air defence system, increasing its operational capabilities. The complex is mobile, mounted on vehicles, allowing it to be rapidly deployed in various locations to enhance airspace control.
