Lots of data.
- Peresvet "special purpose" laser system is operational with this branch
- EKS constellation to be complete by 2024, will give both global coverage and survivable battle management.

- Ground EW echelon consists of 10 radar stations, capable of detecting incoming ballistic missiles on all directions and trajectories
- Plan: seamless dual-band field
- dual-band radar station is being built near Vorkuta (2021), and UHV 'high potential' near Murmansk (2022).

- VHF-band radar station near Sevastopol by 2024
- by 2030: modernization of already completed radar stations in Krasnodar and Irkutsk, new jamming-resistant systems in Leningrad and Far East.

- Konteiner-3M(!) OTH radar (Mordovia) covers ("recon air space") Europe and Middle East and gives extra time for decision-making on retaliation measures(!!)
- 3 more OTH radars are being built: "Siberian", "Eastern", "Kaliningrad", to cover relevant directions

-S-500: new generation of AD system that employs prinicple of "separated task solution" for defeating of ballistic and aerodynamic targets
- Main task: defeat of IRBMs and (if needed) ICBM RVs at terminal stage
- Other targets: hypersonic aerial vehicles, airplanes and UAVs

5/
- technical specifications will allow to label S-500 a "first generation space defense system": it will be capable of defeating low-orbit satellites and space strike systems "in the future"
- will be capable of defeating all types of hypersonic weapons, incl. in near space
6/
- will be capable of defeating all types of hypersonic weapons, incl. in near space
6/
- medium and long range UAVs to be fielded in 2021
- Moscow ABM will receive a modernized interceptor and multifunctional radar "in the nearest future", capabilities will be increased two-fold.
