More info:

The P-40 radar, also known as 1S12 or Long Track by NATO, was a 3-D UHF radar developed and operated by the former Soviet Union in the 1960s. It was designed to provide early warning and target acquisition for anti-aircraft systems such as the 2K11 Krug. The P-40 radar had a high mobility and could be deployed on a tracked chassis powered by a diesel engine. The radar used an open frame parabolic antenna with a stacked beam feed to scan the azimuth and determine the elevation angle of the targets. The P-40 radar had a range of 370 km and a power of 2 MW. It was operated by a crew of six and had a gas turbine generator to supply electricity. The P-40 radar was one of the first radars to enter service with the new tactical anti-aircraft forces of the Soviet armed forces and was later passed down to successor states after the fall of the Soviet Union.
