Russia is set to deploy several state-of-the-art Rezonans-N hypersonic and stealth target hunting radars in the country’s Far East, with the first such station to be set up in the Sakhalin Region, a source in the domestic defense industry told TASS on Tuesday.

"Under the state armament program through 2027, up to five Rezonans-N radar stations are due to be deployed in the Far East, with the first of them to be set up in the Sakhalin Region. The radar’s exact location will be defined by the Defense Ministry," the source said.

TASS has no official confirmation of this information yet.

A source earlier told TASS that Russia would start training combat teams to operate these radars in 2022 with a single-module station of this type set up at the training center of the Air Defense Forces’ radio-technical troops in the Vladimir Region in central Russia.
