Interview with SPRN com. Col.A.Revenok: redstar.ru/preduprezhdyon…

Plans for ground echelon:
- dual-band radar in Vorkuta
- high-potential radar in Murmansk
- radar in Sevastopol'
- by 2030 - modernization of Krasnodar and Irkutsk radars, new construction in Leningrad and Far East.

Space echelon: EKS to be completed by 2024.

There is information integration and sharing between EW, MD and Space Control systems.

Detection:
EKS controls possible launch regions in the Northern Hemisphere by HEO satellites which detect the launch flame from ~40000 km; data from sat is transmitted to ground control post, which, after validation, sends data to EW ("ATTENTION") and MD ("ALARM").

When the ballistic missile is 4000-6000 km close, ground-based radars detect and track it, and after automated data processing "MISSILE ATTACK" warning is transmitted to the higher echelons of state and military command.

Voyennaya Priyemka about Early Warning:

As usual, awesome footage, sad narration.

Nice explanation of Irkutsk Voronezh-M sectors: "Chukotka-Alaska and China ("due to understandable considerations"). Peculiar detail: blurred India:)

Behold, the instrument of #NewSTART extension overcoming the ratification in Russia timeframe issues : docs.cntd.ru/document/57319…

An "'international protocol" extending the Agreement on ballistic missile and space launch vehicles launch notifications between Russia and China.

"This Protocol shall be temporarily applied from December 15, 2020 and shall enter into force on the day of receipt through diplomatic channels of the last written notification of the implementation by the Parties of the domestic procedures necessary for its entry into force."

BTW so far I haven't managed to find the relevant ratification documents on the Duma website.

Finally tried to find a rough answer to the question about number of Russian long range non-nuclear (;))cruise (and quasiballistic;))) missiles, a topic I was very much interested myself.

Weapons included: Kalibr, Oniks, Iskander-M, Kh-101, Kh-555, Kh-32, Kh-22, Kinzhal.

Brief estimation give around 2000-3000 depending on the state of legacy systems, assumptions on number of spare missiles and production capacities. About half of that might be available for first salvo. ~55% are air, with slightly less than 30% ground, what remains - sea.

At the same time, 'sea leg of the non-nuclear triad' has a trend of a gradual increase in the coming years, because kalibrization is a thing, and this thing is speeding up. And it will also be augmented with tsirkonization. Both with new hulls and modernized combatants.

13th MD in Orenburg deployed another Avangard missile system w/ hypersonic glide winged vehicle. Support equipment, incl. transporter, looks rather oldschool.
