Now in the North of the country deployed five such stations. When in the Arctic zone there will be all ten of them, “North-missile-East direction will be completely covered by “hunters” for hypersonic vehicles”, noted the Agency interlocutor.

Station “Resonance” use the principle of resonance waves, which can detect targets up to hypersonic speeds of up to 20 times the speed of sound and aircraft, made by stealth technology.
