MOSCOW, July 3. /TASS/. Construction of three more Container-3M missile defense early warning radars are underway in the Siberian, eastern, and the Kaliningrad directions, Russian Aerospace Forces Commander-in-Chief Sergei Surovikin said in an interview Friday.
"Currently, we have commissioned construction of three more such radar stations — the Siberian one, the eastern one and the Kaliningrad one — which would allow us to monitor airspace from all strategic aerospace directions," he said.
In December 2019, the first Container-3M radar station entered service in Mordovia. "This station conducts reconnaissance of airspace over Europe and the Middle East," Surovikin said.
