Poroshenko boasts Ukraine’s brand new 3D-radar

"The radar can detect aerial targets at a distance of up to 500 km, updating data every 5 seconds, and track targets with high accuracy," the head of state wrote.

According to Poroshenko, 80K6T’s powerful capabilities allow for its use by all anti-aircraft missile systems that are currently in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as an information link in the Air Force units.

Besides, a special system of signal processing allows detecting small-sized and cruise missiles at low altitudes with terrain following.
