How far has the military trust between China and Russia gone? Russia has given its "national defense treasure" to China
The Russian "national defense treasure" long-range fixed over-the-horizon radar "Voronezh" series is used to detect space objects, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles. This series includes radar stations operating in three frequency bands: meter wave, decimeter wave, and centimeter wave. The "Voronezh-M" radar working in the meter wave band can detect targets as far as 6,000 kilometers away. The "Voronezh-DM" radar covers the decimeter wave band, with a horizontal detection range of up to 6,000 kilometers and a vertical range of up to 8,000 kilometers, meaning it can cover near-Earth space.
As early as 2019, President Putin had hinted that Russia was providing China with military technical support to help China establish its own strategic warning system. President Putin explained to journalists: "There should be no secrets, after all, the truth will eventually come out. We are currently helping our Chinese partners establish a missile attack early warning system. Currently, only Russia and the United States have such a system. The establishment of this system will greatly enhance China's defensive capabilities."
It is currently unclear where this radar will be deployed within China (and it should not be known), or whether it will share data with Russia's early warning system. However, the construction of China's over-the-horizon radar system can reduce the risk of being subjected to a preemptive nuclear strike by the United States.
