MOSCOW - Russia will start to build two new early warning radar stations in 2013, Deputy Defense Minister Oleg Ostapenko said Thursday.
According to Ostapenko, the new radar stations will be built in Yeniseisk of the East Siberian Krasnoyarsk Territory and in Barnaul of the South Siberian Altai Republic.
He also revealed the construction of another radar station which is located in Armavir of the Rostov region in Southern Russia has been nearly completed.
This radar station will be put into operation soon. State-commissioned trials are in their final stages, Ostapenko said, adding the station is due to be put on full combat alert soon.
Russia abandoned the radar in Azerbaijan's Gabala on December 24 due to expiration of a 10-year lease agreement with Baku.
