Rezonans-N radar installations will include surveillance of vast areas of airspace over Norway and Finland.

The Russian military is enhancing its Arctic air defence network by setting up a chain of five Rezonans-N over-the-horizon (OTH) radar sites, reflecting a sharply intensified projection of power by Moscow in the ‘High North’.

A third Rezonans-N radar site has been completed and is on track to be commissioned in June on Novaya Zemlya Island to the north of the Kola Peninsula.
