      "The Ministry of General(Large) Machine Building" oversaw all `Space exploration`. On September 17, 1991, the Ministry was wound up, passing on their duties to the newly established "Federal Space Agency Roskosmos",.........The Russians are very clever but many of the contributions are not credited and forgotten in the west.

    The problem with this report is that it WAS effective. It might not have been *efficient* but it did work. They were able to use it to detect rocket launches on multiple occasions. Its smaller precursor, Duga, was tested by pointing it at Baikonur. So the technology does work. It wasn't a "failure", technology just advanced so quickly that smaller and better radars were available not long after Duga-2 was built.

    This radar was not a "flop." It actually worked OK for that era, but it did use outdated technology, like vacuum tubes. Also, the radar required 10 million Watts to operate, and that is why it was built so close to the Chernobyl power plant.

    Every ham radio op in the northern hemisphere knew about this thing. On the 20 meter band (14 MHz) we called it the russian woodpecker. By 1988 we knew it was an over the horizon radar from the USSR. It was not a secret once they turned it on.

      @@fly3209 The bigger array sent out pulses. The smaller array received the returned signal. Or vice versa. The OTHR principle is sound and was in use since the early 1940s. Duga was able to push out the wave further due to ground propagation (unlikely?) or ionospheric propagation? And punching out some serious watts when powered up.
      It is said that at least one of the reactors at Chernobyl was built to power it. And when it all went wrong in 1986, Duga-2 was impossible and therefore scrapped.

      @@fly3209 By beam steering high power shortwave signals and relying on propagation assistance from reflective layers in the Earth's atmosphere to both transmit and detect signals which are at such a distance the signal would not make it over the horizon to the target or back. This is achieved by the propagation property called "skipping" (think a stone skipping across a pond after being thrown).
      If you purchase a cheap USB SDR dongle, install a readily free SDR application and tune to certain bands in the HF Radio spectrum, you will see the type of characteristic radio signature these types of antenna arrays emit.
