The Kasta 2E radar group (NATO reporting name "Flat Face-E") is a Russian radar system, consisting of the Kasta 2E1, Kasta 2E2 and their supporting equipment. The Kasta system is designed to succeed the older Flat Face models, such as the P-15 and the P-19. Despite looking visually similar (similar radar reflectors) to the previous listed, Kasta has significant differences to the P-15 and P-19.
