According to the Russian state arms export agency Rosoboronexport, the 1L125E radar is capable of detecting and tracking aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, missile warheads and other targets at a distance of up to 500 km, identifying their state affiliation and transmitting data to the command post or anti-aircraft complexes.

The radar equipment is located on the antenna array and in the apparat container which spins with the antenna on the slewing rings and on the all-terrain KAMAZ chassis and in the driver’s cab. The processes of deployment and withdrawal are automated.

Rosoboronexport says the radar can also identify the direction of jamming sources and determine their location.
