"These systems are very needed because they can track goals at low altitudes due to the radar in the air. At the same time, they can remain in the air for a long time and ensure a continuous detection of goals such as K-55's winged rocket," the message reads.
It is still unknown what type of balloon will be, but the request of the request was illustrated by a photo of the American Tars system. The efficiency of application in the material has stated that the balloons should not be considered as a full alternative to aircraft of early warning of the AWACS class, but as a supplement to them. Although official data, TARS radars have a range of 200 nautical miles (about 370 km).
In the non -war time, the devices will provide serious assistance in tracking airspace, but in the conditions of armed conflict, they may be more vulnerable to the enemy. In conclusion, the authors of the material emphasized that the daily use of balloons removes the burden of labor -intensive combat duty and provides more response time for other, more mobile air defense systems, including fighters.
