Russia's giant radar in Kaliningrad reportedly nears completion, alarming NATO
Expert says over-the-horizon system could let Moscow surveil Europe and Ukraine
Reports say construction of a massive over-the-horizon radar complex near Gvardeysk in Russia's Kaliningrad exclave is almost complete. Security expert Vaidotas Malinionis said its surveillance range would be about 3,000 kilometers, allowing Moscow to peer into almost every corner of Europe and across Ukraine. The system would reportedly allow Russia to intercept satellite communications and detect aircraft movements and ballistic missiles. Latvian analyst Evija Djatkovica warned that the radar could expose more European regions to Russian surveillance and military actions.
