"Alice,
do we know for sure, which system was available on 10.04.2010 - RSP-6M2 or RSP-10MN?
Arrakis"
Official news nil. Specifications not mentioned yet once, neither in Poland nor in Russia. Smolesnk puzzled over the number for a long time; finally it was gotten out of the Electrician (who worked there before) that No 6, he repeated angrily several time - 6 - NOT 10.
But then he is an ex.

With where were all types of lightning - hopeless. They dragged them around, from their idea of "day-time, fog" to "day time, no fog - for "alarm" (resque) Ministry and next for Putin" - then to "night time" - for that Ministry planes - and all before the 10th of April expired.
There were way too many planes arriving there that evening and the following night. Putin met Tusc then Kachinsky-brother there already at 5pm or may be 6pm. The Extraordinary Affairs Ministry flew in before Tusc and Putin (Tusc though didn't fly direct, for clear reasons). Then the whole night the Ministry busied around. All who took pictures on the afternoon got absolutely confused where which lights in which colours were and when.
The only particular thing spotted and photo-ed were now famous "nano-buckets" :o) "secret nano-technology yellow lamp-shades" - for the colour yellow - converted from what seems to be smth like ordinary supermaret kitchen buckets :o). Not all the yellow ones though, some of them. Locals say the metal ones were way too popular with some creative locals and frequently stolen :o)
So the aerodrome was replacing the missing factory-made "lamp-shades" by improvised versions.
They even protected their choice in Smolesnk forum by saying the manual demands the ones positioned ? by the runway? close to it? say, near - must be breakable easy so that if a plane touches them by mistake in landing - the lamps have to be smashed - not the aircraft parts.
So by this "breakability" parameter - the "yellow nano-buckets" were up to the aerodrome manual.
