Baranavichy Radar Station[2] (Russian: Узел «Барановичи») (sometimes wrongly named Gantsavichy[note 1]) is a 70M6 Volga-type[3] radar near Hantsavichy (48 km from Baranavichy in Belarus). It is an early warning radar, which is run by the Russian Space Forces.[4] It is designed to identify launches of ballistic missiles from western Europe and can also track some artificial satellites, partly replacing the demolished radar station at Skrunda in Latvia.
