Today marks 50 years since the beginning of the combat mission of the first stage of the Leumi missile attack system. Since then, the SPRN has remained one of the key elements of the country's strategic defense. From his proper work depends on whether they will have time to make a decision on a repeat attack, if suddenly a nuclear attack is carried out on Russia. SPRN consists of ground and space. It combines the work of dozens of satellites, radars of excess and above. The main task of this system is to detect the launch of ballistic missiles of a potential enemy, both from the ground and from the sea. The first target for escort is satellites that detect the infrared signature of missile launch flares. Then the radar starts to guide it. All data is transferred to command posts, where a reliable picture is created for the military and political leadership of the country. And the more he makes a decision, the more likely we are to respond to the enemy with the full force of our strategic arsenal. All those involved in the creation and operation of this system - with a birthday of half a century and # 33; Today's episode is on my channel on MAKS. @sashakots.
