Aistyonok (Russian: Аистёнок, Stork; GRAU designation 1L271) is a Counter-battery radar system developed and produced by Almaz-Antey for the Russian Armed Forces. It is a mobile radar for the purpose of detecting position of fire weapons such as field artillery and anti-aircraft weapons, calculating the trajectory of incoming shells, and the control of unmanned aerial vehicles. Aistyonok can detect moving ground targets at a distance of up to 20 kilometers (12 mi), with capabilities to detect mortar fire positions at a distance of up to 5 kilometers (3.1 mi), moving ground equipment at a distance of up to 20 kilometers (12 mi), and the adjustment of artillery fire from 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) to 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) depending on the conditions.[1]
