Abstract

The article offers information that Russian investments in its ballistic missile early warning radar equipment are being directed elsewhere and the disputed Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, will soon be home to a new RTl Mints 77YA6-M Voronezh-M BMEW radar. It also discusses that the United States ballistic missile early warning radar infrastructure includes systems based in Alaska, California, Cape Cod, Greenland, Shemya in the Aleutian Islands and the United Kingdom. INSET: New AESA radars to focus on at-sea ballistic missile detection.
