Russian and Belarusian Skies Protected from Hundreds of Taurus, SCALP, ATACMS: "Baikal-1" Automated Air Defense System Command Post Will Intercept Enemy Missiles

The unified air defense and missile defense system of Russia and Belarus uses automated control systems (ACS) 73N6 "Baikal-1" (developed by STC "MNIIPA" JSC "GSKB "Almaz-Antey"). These systems help distribute targets between anti-aircraft missile brigades to repel combined missile strikes by the enemy. This is according to military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

According to him, 73N6 "Baikal-1" receives data on the tactical air situation from:

The hardware and software base helps the ACS track 80 targets, selecting the most priority ones. All targets are distributed among 12 different types of anti-aircraft missile systems (SAMs) located in different areas. This includes the S-300PM2, S-400, S-350A "Vityaz" SAMs, as well as 9A317MA "Buk-M3A" fire units.

Damantsev emphasized that 73N6 "Baikal-1" will help repel the most complex combined enemy strikes using several hundred AGM-158B, SCALP-EG, Taurus, and ATACMS missiles.

The expert added that the maximum speed of targets tracked by "Baikal-1" can reach 9216 km/h, and the upper limit of processed target tracks is up to 102 km. The "Polyana-D4M1" ACS has similar technical characteristics.
