RADAR a. P19 “Flat Face” (SA-2/3/5 Search Radar)
Operational Range: 80nm Range Accuracy: 2000 Meter Azimuth Accuracy: 2 Degrees P-19 “Danube” (Russian designation: 1RL134; NATO designation “Flat Face B”) is a mobile two-coordinate radar station of the decimeter wave range. The P-19 radar can interface with all types of automatic interacting and control systems: P-18, SA-3 “Goa” and SA-2 “Guideline” surface-to-air missile systems, and PRW-9 und PRW-16 radio altimeters. The power supply of the…

RADAR b. SNR-75 “Fan Song” (SA-2 Track Radar)
Fan Song E is a missile control radar operating in frequency band G, associated with the SA-2E Guideline Mod 4. The main differences to the predecessor “Dwina” (Fan Song B) are the frequency of the radiation from the Lewis scanners and the fan beam (and hence the sector dimensions). The beams in Fan Song E are about 7.5° wide in the fan…

RADAR c. RD-75 Amazonka (SA-2 Range Finder)
The RD-75 Amazonka was a rangefinding radar incorporated often in late model S-75 / SA-2 Guideline missile batteries. It was slaved in azimuth and elevation to the boresight of the SNR-75M3 Fan Song and was employed to perform precision rangefinding when the rangefinding channel in the Fan Song was degraded or compromised by jamming.

RADAR d. S(SNR)-125 “Low Blow” (SA-3 Track Radar)
Russian designator: S-125 “Newa” (Kabina UNW) Low Blow is the NATO reporting name given to a family of I-band radars used with land-based SA-3 “Goa” surface-to-air missiles. The name Low Blow reflects the ability of the radar to guide the missile towards low-flying targets through heavy clutter. It use pairs of electromechanically scanning (so-called Lewis scanner) antennas mounted…

RADAR f. ST-68U “Tin Shield” (SA-5 Search Radar)
The ST-68U (Russian designation: 19Sh6; Cyrillic: 19Ж6; NATO code: “Tin Shield”) was a medium-range 3D air defense radar in the former Warsaw Pact countries. It was designed for the detection and tracking of targets at low altitudes under conditions of active and passive interference with strong ground reflection and under difficult meteorological conditions. The radar used a frequency-controlled…

RADAR h. 30N6 “Flap Lip” (SA-10 Track Radar)
30N6E “Flap Lid” is an I/J-band multi-function phased-array trailer-mounted engagement radar with digital beam steering for use with the SA-10 “Grumble” theatre defence missile. The operators and command staff for the SA-10 are positioned in a cabin to the rear of the radar cabin. Flap Lid, like the AN/MPQ-53, uses a 10,000 element transmission type of space feeded phased-array, with a…
