As the ancients said, “If you want peace, prepare for<br />
war”. Today, stability in the world is maintained by<br />
a network of nuclear weapons <strong>and</strong> powerful missile<br />
defence systems. In <strong>Russia</strong>, early warning of an<br />
attack is given by radar. <strong>Russia</strong>’s missile defence<br />
system is an effective, fine-tuned cluster of space <strong>and</strong><br />
computer technologies ready to be deployed on l<strong>and</strong>,<br />
at sea, underwater <strong>and</strong> in near space. Every link in<br />
the defence system’s chain is covered in this ‘special<br />
report’, from the detection of enemy missiles to their<br />
ultimate destruction. This documentary delivers an<br />
insight on the high-pressure atmosphere at one<br />
of the newest radar stations <strong>and</strong> at an anti-aircraft<br />
defence unit outside of Moscow, making for a thrilling<br />
<strong>and</strong> unique viewer experience!<br />

a miraculous plane was designed <strong>and</strong> built by a 23-years-old<br />
<strong>Russia</strong>n genius Igor Sikorsky.<br />

In 1962, a Moscow publishing house released a book by a young physicist – Pyotr Ufimtsev – describing a<br />
theory that enabled aircraft designers to develop an invisible airplane. By discounting the value of Ufimtsev’s<br />
theory, the Soviet military delivered the book right into the h<strong>and</strong>s of NATO translators <strong>and</strong> ultimately, the<br />
Americans becoming their stealth technology.<br />
