P-14 radar
The P-14 " Lena" was a long-range radar for air surveillance of the Soviet Union and its allies. The NATO reporting name for this radar was " Tall King", the later the suffix "A " was added to distinguish this radar from their successor, the Oborona ( "Tall King B "). P -14 was equipped with an additional secondary radar device of the type 12 with the NRS Kremnij 2 method.
With the dimensions of 33 m × 22 m parabolic antenna of the P- 14 for the VHF band took a special position. The technical data of the radar station were approximately equivalent to those of the P- 12th However, the transmitter was more powerful ( peak power = 700 kW). Maximum displayed distance was 600 km, while the distance resolution deteriorated mainly due to the screen resolution and the renewal of the broadcasting time.
P- 14 had two main antennas. One of them was built as a working antenna stationary and an antenna was shipped ready to be laid on 36 Cars of the type Ural 375D. The construction time for an antenna was about 50 hours.
