It is a mobile radar for the purpose of detecting position of weapons such as field artillery and anti-aircraft weapons, calculating the trajectory of incoming shells, and the control of unmanned aerial vehicles. Aistyonok is claimed to detect moving ground targets at a distance of up to 20 kilometres (12 mi), with capabilities to detect mortar fire positions at a distance of up to 5 kilometres (3.1 mi), moving ground equipment at a distance of up to 20 kilometres (12 mi), and the adjustment of artillery fire from 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) depending on the conditions.[1]
The Aistyonok system was debuted in 2008, and has since been introduced for limited use in the North Caucasus by the Russian Armed Forces.[citation needed] The counter-battery radar has also been used in the Russo-Ukrainian war.[2][3]
