How is the airspace of the Russian Federation protected?

The Radio Engineering Corps is the main source of information about airborne targets for the Russian military.

The Russian Radio Engineering Corps (established on December 15, 1951) is responsible for radar reconnaissance and providing radar calculation information to the control center.

“More than 6,000 military and civilian personnel are on duty every day on air defense duty, performing tasks of protecting the country's air borders and monitoring the use of airspace, controlling its use as part of combat radio-technical units,” the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation said.

Also according to the Russian Ministry of Defense, over the past 5 years, the number of new radar systems equipped annually for radio engineering troops has increased more than 10 times.
