Sevastopol radar station was a Soviet radar station providing early warning of ballistic missile attack. It was located between the Cape of Chersones and the auxiliary airfield "Chersones" (Marine Aviation of the Black Sea Fleet) in Sevastopol and was part of the Soviet missile attack warning system. Information from this station could be used for a launch-on-warning nuclear missile attack[3] or to engage the A-135 anti-ballistic missile system.
The radar occupies a site 1 km long overlooking the Black Sea. Nearby there is a former Soviet Navy dolphinarium[4] and a former airfield. When the station was built it was in the then-closed town of Sevastopol, in the Ukrainian SSR.
