India Seeks Purchase Information about Russia’s Latest Coastal Radar Station

India is interested to buy Russia’s Podsolnukh coastal radar station, which can simultaneously track more than 300 surface and air targets.

"As for the Podsolnukh coastal radar complex specifically, the Indian side has shown interest in it; as part of an information request, relevant proposals have been submitted to the partner [organization in India]," a representative of Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation told TASS.

The spokesperson revealed this on the sidelines of the International Maritime Defense Show (IMDS-2023), and claimed that the “Podsolnukh radar has no analogues in the world.”

Export version of the radar, the Podsolnukh-E, stands out for its ability to simultaneously track more than 300 surface and air targets over an area of around 150,000sqkm, around the clock and in all weather conditions.

IMDS-2023 is being held in Kronstadt on June 21-25; the defense industry trade show is organized by the Russian Industry and Trade Ministry.
