Like the S-300 radar system, the 59N6E Protivnik-GE can be used to track aerial targets in the medium-to-high altitude area. It is optimized to detect targets with small radar cross-sections such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Ballistic and cruise missiles and stealthy aircraft. It is fitted with a dedicated communication link to transfer data to command posts and other allied platforms while being resistant to heavy counter-measures (Jamming).
