The RUS-2 (Redoute / Pegmatit) ( Russian РУС-2 , abbreviation for радиоуловитель самолётов , "aircraft radar ") was the first Soviet impulse radio measuring station and was taken over into the equipment of the Red Army at the end of 1940 . The predecessor was the RUS-1 radar device.
history
The first tests took place in early 1935. The RUS-2 made it possible to determine the altitude, distance, course and approximate number of aircraft within a radius of 120 km. At the beginning of the war in 1941, 30 RUS-2s were available in the air defenses of Moscow and Leningrad .
The RUS-2c pegmatite was a stationary version. The Redoute-K was installed on ships. From 1940 to 1945, 607 RUS-2s were built in different variants.
