Russia, Ukraine Agree to Radar Upgrade

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to modernize two early warning radars that serve to alert Russia to missile attacks, Tass reported today (see GSN, Feb. 16).

The radars at Mukachevo and Sevastopol were once on the periphery of the Soviet Union but are now in Ukraine.  Russia operates them by the terms of lease with Kiev, according to Tass.

The radar upgrade could cost $4 million, according to some experts (Tass, Dec. 7).
