Joint CIS Air Defense System (Russian:Объединённая система ПВО СНГ) is a unified system that comprisesair defense units and elements of theformer Soviet republics under control of the Coordination Committee on Air Defense of theCouncil of Ministers of Defense of the CIS. Currently there are 6 de facto members of JADS:Armenia,Belarus,Kazakhstan,Kyrgyzstan,Russia andTajikistan. 70% of all expenditures of the military budget of theCommonwealth of Independent States are directed to the improvement and development of this system.[1]
It was established on 10 February 1995 by theAlmaty agreement.[2][3] Which was signed byArmenia,Belarus,Kazakhstan,Kyrgyzstan,Russia,Tajikistan,Georgia,Turkmenistan,Ukraine andUzbekistan. Georgia and Turkmenistan ceased their membership in 1997, while Uzbekistan is maintaining cooperation with Russia on a bilateral basis. By decision of the Council of CIS Heads of Governments of November 3, 1995, an effective financing mechanism for the CIS air defense system was created from a targeted allocation of funds by participating states.[4][5] Since September 1996, combat firing has been conducted by CIS air defense units. In September 1998, the first joint tactical exercises of the system "Combat Commonwealth – 98" were held. Such exercises have become traditional and are held once every two years.[6]
General aims of Joint AD System are the following:
The Joint CIS AD System does not have a single commander. It is controlled by the Air Defense Coordinating Committee of theCIS whose members are commanders of air defense troops or air forces of the member states. The Chairman of the Committee at the time of formation was Commander-in-Chief of theRussian Air Force Colonel-GeneralAlexander Zelin.[7] Currently, the chairman is the former Commander-in-Chief of theRussian Aerospace Forces, Colonel-GeneralSergei Surovikin.[8][9][10]
As for year 2005 the Joint CIS AD System included:
The existing composition of forces was determined by a decision ratified in December 2015:[11]

The twoDnepr radars in Ukraine (Mukachevo andSevastopol) used to be part of the system until 2008.[13] The next generation of Russian radar are theVoronezh radar.
In 2008, Russia announced its withdrawal from the agreement with Ukraine on their use due to an increase in rent and doubts about the reliability of the information received.[14] On February 26, 2009, the flow of information from them stopped.[15]
Мы пришли к выводу, что нужно всю эту систему держать на собственной территории.
С вводом станции под Армавиром полностью решается проблема надежного прикрытия страны от угрозы ракетного нападения с южного направления. Это сверхсовременная станция, с расширенными возможностями.
