OVERVIEW: The Kontainer 29B6 radar is a fixed over-the-horizon radar, intended to monitor airspace and ballistic missile detection, operating in the NATO "A" band.  

DETAILS: The Konteyner radar is intended to fill radar surveillance coverage gaps created in the post-Soviet era.  It consists of 144 antenna feeder masts and is reportedly capable of monitoring planes, helicopters, drones and cruise missiles from over the horizon by reflecting the signal off the ionosphere. The Konteyner reportedly features a modular set-up.
