    Russian scientists have developed and tested a new mobile radar
    which will soon become part of the country's aerospace defense,
    RIA Novosti reported.

    The new radar, dubbed 55Zh6ME, is capable of detecting targets at the
    distance of up to 1,800 kilometers and an altitude of up to 1,200 km.

    "The radar has been developed forŐˇ the Russian Armed Forces,
    especially for aerospace defense," a spokesman for the Nizhniy Novgorod
    Research Institute of Radio Engineering (NNIIRT) said on Monday.

    "The deliveries of the first batch of new radars to the [Russian]
    military are expected soon," the official said, adding that the
    product has strong export potential.

    Russia is planning to set up a unified strategic aerospace defense
    command that would integrate existing air defense and missile defense
    networks, early warning systems and aerospace monitoring systems.
