A-35 anti-ballistic missile system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A-35 anti-ballistic missile system, or A-35 Aldan, was a Soviet military battle management radar complex deployed around Moscow to intercept enemy missiles targeting the city or its surrounding areas. In development since the 1960s and in operation from 1971 [1] until the 1990s, It featured the nuclear-tipped exoatmospheric interceptor ABM-1 Galosh. The missile was the first Soviet ABM in operation. The A-35 was supported by the Cat House radar, Dog House and Hen House radars as designated by NATO.[1]
The A-35 system was followed by the A-135, currently operational as of February 2007.
