Prefer DW on Google The radar system near Gordievsky could give Russia the ability to intercept satellite communications, monitor aircraft movements and track ballistic missiles.
Seen from the air, the vast installation can be seen with three wings, each over 500 meters long. Set in a forested nature reserve, the structure feels like a creature from a sci-fi movie or a launching pad for Moscow's vast intelligence network.
Although Russia has not officially confirmed the construction of the facility, security expert and former commander of the Lithuanian army Vaidotas Malenionis says the radar will be very large.
He told DW that the over-the-horizon (OTH) radar system under construction near Gordeevsk would have a surveillance range of about 3,000 km, which would allow Russia to monitor almost every part of Europe and all of Ukraine.
According to reports, the system may also be capable of intercepting satellite communications, monitoring aircraft movements and tracking ballistic missiles.
