Щит от ATACMS, Storm Shadow и HIMARS: ВС России развернули на фронте ЗРК С-350 «Витязь»

The 96L6-TsP radar from the SAM system detects artillery shells at a distance of 60-80 km

The Russian military has deployed an advanced multifunctional radar station for detection, tracking, and targeting based on the C-band AESA 96L6-TsP, which is part of the S-350 Vityaz anti-aircraft missile system.

Military analyst Evgeny Damantsev noted that a key feature of this radar is its high noise immunity. This was achieved through the ability to form nulls in the antenna pattern in narrow spatial sectors of the enemy's electronic warfare (EW) assets' radiation.

Software and hardware adaptation of primary and secondary radar information processing devices has been carried out to detect and track small-sized hypersonic ballistic targets with an RCS of 0.01 - 0.02 sq. m and speeds up to 4,500 m/s. Targets with an RCS of 0.1 sq. m are detected at a distance of about 120 km, 0.01 sq. m - about 60 km, 1 sq. m - 230 km.

Thus, the system is capable of effectively identifying the trajectory of ATACMS, Storm Shadow, and HIMARS projectiles and subsequently transmitting the coordinates for destruction.

The analyst noted that the 96L6-TsP radar may have a counter-battery mode of operation, detecting 155-mm artillery shells on the ascending branches of trajectories at a distance of 60-80 km and calculating the firing positions of rocket and barrel artillery of the enemy through additional software.
