Juste pour admirer les 2 ou trois pylones...

(Russian: 29Б6 «Контейнер») is the new generation of Russian over-the-horizon radar,
providing long distance airspace monitoring and ballistic missile detection.
The first radar, near Kovylkino, Mordovia, Russia, became operational in December 2013.^[1]^[3]^[4]
Another Container radar is under construction in far east of Russia. Construction planned to be finished in 2018.^[5]

Radar is capable to monitor airspace up to 100 km altitude and has range of 3000 km.
Radar was developed by NPK NIIDAR, which is also a developer of Voronezh-DM radar.
Chief designer was Valentin Strelkin.^[1] The price of the system was 10 billion rubles.^[6]
Radar system consists of two separate antennas: transmitter and receiver. Receiver antenna array contains 144 antenna masts,
each 34 m height. Array has three sections : The inner section is 900 m width with 7 m spacing between masts, and two outer
sections are each 200 m width with 14 m spacing between masts. Total array width is 1300 m.^[1]
Transmitter antenna array has 36 varying configuration masts and is 440 m width.^[7]
Radar signals were detected by some amateur radio operators in 9.2-19.745 MHz frequency band.
Pulse repetition rate is 50 pulse per second, bandwidth about 14 kHz, frequency modulation on pulse (FMOP)
is used.^[2]^[8] The received signal has a sound similar to the nicknamed Russian woodpecker, a Soviet early
warning system radar Duga-3 operated from 1976 to 1989.
