It is located in Irkutsk in Siberia and provides coverage of China and missile launches from submarines in the Pacific Ocean.

Mishelevka was founded as OS-1, a space surveillance site with four Dnestr radar, which were started in 1964 [1] and tested in 1968.

[9] Two Daryal-U type radars were to be built at sites in Balkhash and Mishelevka, Irkutsk, neither were completed.

In 1999 the American Clinton administration offered financial assistance in completing the Mishelevka facility in exchange for amending the ABM treaty to allow US deployment of a national missile defense system.

The ones being built in Mishelevka are Voronezh-M, also described as Voronezh-VP,[13] a VHF radar with a stated range of 4,200 kilometres (2,610 mi).

[14] The VP stands for high potential and may reflect that it has six segments, rather than the three of other Voronezh VHF radars.
