Aistyonok

Aistyonok (Аистёнок, Little Stork; GRAU designation 1L271) is a portable counter-battery radar system developed and produced by the state-owned Almaz-Antey corporation for the Russian Armed Forces.

It is a mobile radar for the purpose of detecting position of weapons such as field artillery and anti-aircraft weapons, calculating the trajectory of incoming shells, and the control of unmanned aerial vehicles. Aistyonok is claimed to detect moving ground targets at a distance of up to 20 km, with capabilities to detect mortar fire positions at a distance of up to 5 km, moving ground equipment at a distance of up to 20 km, and the adjustment of artillery fire from 5 km to 15 km depending on the conditions.

The Aistyonok system was debuted in 2008, and has since been introduced for limited use in the North Caucasus by the Russian Armed Forces. The counter-battery radar has also been used in the Russo-Ukrainian war.
