A short thread.
If Yahroma is a meter band radar on the lines of Voronezh-M/VP it would make sense for it to be built in Sevastopol as well as in Chukotka (KMZ courtesy of @russianforces) as the coverage there for that band is nonexistant. 1/

Same would apply to the "high potential dm-band" site announced for Murmansk area - that is where the gap in Voronezh-DM radar coverage happens to be.
As such those two new sites (M/VP-like in Sevastopol and DM in Murmansk) would complete dual band EW coverage. 2/

So far Yahroma appears to be an improved stand alone Voronezh-M/VP based on the recent interview (tass.ru/interviews/106… courtesy of @KomissarWhipla) rather than a missile defence specific radar as previously speculated. 3/
However maybe some advances in processing capability may be the key there, or co-locating a Voronezh-SM on site, much like it was done with Voronezh-VP in Vorkuta.
But please share your thoughts in the comments, both on the dual band nature of EW network and the BMD aspect.

p.s. forgot to mention that this is happening at the same time as the other aspects of the early system, such as EKS-Kupol space based system (currently 4 sats on HEO) and Kontainer OTHR network (mostly for stealth bombers and cruise missiles) is being developed and deployed.
