In August 2025 media reported on [[Chernyakhovsk CDAA]], an almost finished, 1,600&nbsp;m wide circularly disposed CDDAarray circa 5&nbsp;km southeast of the [[Chernyakhovsk (air base)|Chernyakhovsk airbase]] in the [[Kaliningrad enclave]] (at {{coord|54.563|N|21.829|E|scale:5000}}).<ref>{{cite news|title= Satellite Images Appear To Show Russia Has New Spy Base on NATO's Doorstep |url= https://www.newsweek.com/russia-kaliningrad-spy-base-satellite-images-baltic-sea-nato-2117706 |work= newsweek.com |first1= Jordan |last1= King |first2= John |last2= Feng |date= 2025-08-22|access-date=2025-08-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2025-08-20 |title=Putin lässt Mega-Abhörstation bauen – direkt an Nato-Grenze! |url=https://www.bild.de/politik/ausland-und-internationales/putin-laesst-mega-abhoerstation-bauen-direkt-an-nato-grenze-68a46c8ece696d388164233a |access-date=2025-08-22 |website=bild.de |language=de}}</ref> The facility consists of multiple, concentric rings, the outermost having a diameter of more than 1,600 meters. Exploring data from [[Copernicus Programme|Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem]] it can be determined that work at the site started in March of 2023 by clearing forest and connecting the site by roads. One month later the outline of one of the rings can be seen taking shape. Steady progress can be seen from retrieved satellite data and the site now consists of six concentric rings, security perimeter fence and checkpoint and road network.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Huge Antenna System is Being Built in Kaliningrad to Monitor NATO |url=https://militarnyi.com/en/news/huge-antenna-system-is-being-built-in-kaliningrad-to-monitor-nato/ |author=Vladislav V. |date=2025-08-21 |access-date=2025-08-23 |website=Militarnyi |language=en-US}}</ref>
