Gabala Radar Station (; (アゼルバイジャン語:Qəbələ RLS)) 〔in some sources Gabala is spelled ''Qabala'', other names are Lyaki, Mingacevir and Mingechaur〕 was a Daryal-type (NATO Pechora) bistatic Passive electronically scanned array early warning radar,〔 built by the Soviet Union in the Qabala district of the Azerbaijan SSR in 1985.〔 It was operated by the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces and closed at the end of 2012. The radar station had a range of up to , and was designed to detect missile launches as far as the Indian Ocean.〔 The radar's surveillance covered Iran, Turkey, India, Iraq and the entire Middle East.〔 It could detect the launch of missiles and track the whole trajectory to enable a ballistic missile defense system to intercept an offensive strike. The Radar Station hosted about 1,000 Russian servicemen with about 500 Azerbaijanis.〔 After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation and Azerbaijan negotiated the terms of the lease and in 2002 the two countries signed an agreement according to which Russia leased the station from Azerbaijan until 24 December 2012 for $7 million per year rent, $5 million per year for electricity and $10 million per year for other services.〔〔〔 In 2012 the future of the station was being negotiated between Russia and Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan and Armenia have ongoing tension and Russia and Armenia are close. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan are members of the CIS but only Armenia is a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation. Russia has a new Voronezh radar in Armavir which covers the same region as Gabala.〔〔〔〔 Russia offered to modernise the station and Azerbaijan wanted to increase the rent Russia paid,〔 from $7m to $300m according to one source.〔 On December 2012 Russia announced that negotiations had been unsuccessful and that they had stopped using the radar station.〔〔 The station was given back to Azerbaijan〔(Независимое военное обозрение. Габалинская РЛС теперь находится под контролем азербайджанских военных )〕 and all the equipment dismantled and transported to Russia.〔(Независимое военное обозрение.

The transmitter array is and the receiver is in size. The system is a VHF system operating at a wavelength of 1.5 to 2 meters (150 to 200 MHz). Its initial transmit capacity was 50 MW with a target capacity of 350 MW.〔 Originally, at least seven Daryal facilities were planned, however, only the first two facilities completed, Pechora and Gabala, were ever operational.〔 Two Daryal-U type were to be built at sites in Balkhash and Mishelevka, Irkutsk, neither were completed. The US 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.〔 Two Daryal-UM systems were to be constructed at in Skrunda, Latvia and Mukachevo, Ukraine. The Mukachevo in the Ukraine was never completed after the fall of the Soviet Union and the Skrunda facility was turned over to Latvia to be demolished.〔〔 The Yeniseysk (Krasnoyarsk) Daryal-U site caused concern in the west over compliance with the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty during its construction in the 1980s. Following years of negotiations, in September 1989 the Soviets admitted it was a violation of the treaty, construction ceased and the facility was eventually dismantled.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gabala Radar Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
