Russian cellular towers to help defend against enemy missiles

By Around the Web

(United Press International) Russian designers have created an airspace control system that significantly extends Moscow’s air and missile defense capabilities.

Developed by a subsidiary of state technology corporation Rostec, the system, named “Rubezh,” can detect flying objects in the electromagnetic fields of cellular towers deployed across the Russian Federation.

The creators assure that GSM networks will help the military detect on radar a number of hard-to-see objects – enemy cruise missiles, drones and small aircraft.
