Russia has erected the Kaliningrad early warning radar station on experimental combat duty, RIA Novosti reported.

 “The Voronezh-DM missile attack early warning radar station located in Kaliningrad Region has gone on experimental combat duty,” the press service of the Federal Agency for Special Construction said Monday.

 “The state testing of the station will be conducted within three months, and upon completion it will be put on combat duty.”

The construction of the radar station in Russia’s Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad began in February 2010. It covers almost all of Europe and the Atlantic Ocean.

The radar has a range of 6,000 kilometers and can simultaneously track up to 500 objects.
