The Vietnamese television QPVN in a reportage about military news showed a three-coordinate sky-radar transmitter, Niebo-UE (Niebo means Sky), a meter band, used by the army of this country. Earlier, there was no information on the sale of radars of this type to Vietnam. It is known that the Niebo-SWU radar has previously bought by Iran.

A three-coordinate radar detector for the detection of a 55.56-meter-wide Niebo-UE object was designed by Nizhny Novgorod Research Institute of Radio Engineering. It can detect and identify flying objects of various categories, including stealth classes, also under radio interference conditions. Niebo-UE can operate in automatic mode, autonomously or in an air defense system. It can also control civilian air traffic.

The maximum detection range of the Niebo-UE targets is 700 km. The location of a fighter with an effective surface area of ​​2.5 m 2 (2.5 m 2 ) reflecting at 20 km can be determined from a distance of 400 km. A 0.9 m 2 hyper-sound missile detects from a distance of 300 km.
