Sh*t, we're "slavic brothers" etc., but I can't understand your lagnuage :)

Luckily I've found something in English:


Russia was the first country in the world that created the Okno (Window) optoelectronic complex in the early 1980s. Its basic equipment is completely automated, it may function unmanned within a working session and provide online data about known and newly discovered space objects. Several complexes of this kind may patrol the coelosphere and warn of any approaching danger.


In 2002 the technical capacities of the Russian missile defense system actually expanded. It gained two facilities at once, unique in their capabilities: the Volga radar station at Baranovichi (Belarus) and the Okno ("Window") optic-electronic complex in Nurek (Tajikistan). Volga can detect the launches of all types of strategic ballistic missiles within about 5,000 kilometers. Developed by the design bureau of the Krasnogorsk plant, the Okno optic-electronic complex is meant for automatic detection of high-orbit objects in space, at altitudes to 40,000 kilometers, tracking their orbits, and determination of their class, destination, state, and origin.
