Assessment
A radar in Kaliningrad with a 3,000 km detection range would give Russia the ability to track aircraft and missiles across most of Western Europe. The satellite evidence from Iceye suggests this is not just a claim but a visible construction project. What matters next is whether this radar is part of a broader air defense network or a standalone early warning system. The Times report puts the timeline and technical capability on the record, but the operational status and actual integration remain unconfirmed.
