The Russian State Duma, the lower house of the Russian Parliament, ratified an agreement Monday to lease the Habala radar facility in Azerbaijan (see GSN, Oct. 10).  Operators believe the facility, which monitors airspace south of Russia, should reach the end of its service life in 2012, which gives Russia enough time to build its own radar station to monitor the region, according to ITAR-Tass (ITAR-Tass, Oct. 30 in FBIS-SOV, Oct. 30).
