India's IAF Deploys Russian Nebo-UM Radar to Counter Stealth Aircraft Threats

The Indian Air Force has operationalized the Russian-made Nebo-UM, a Very High Frequency long-range surveillance radar capable of detecting stealth aircraft. The system is designed to provide early warning against advanced aerial threats, strengthening India's overall air defense network. While the radar carries no offensive capability, its role in identifying low-observable aircraft makes it strategically significant. Its deployment comes amid a growing presence of stealth fighter jets in neighboring countries, including China's J-20.
