All the Russian radar sites at the Area 51 Back Gate are gone. I discovered this a few weeks ago. The support buildings are still there but appear abandoned. It is not clear if the radar sites are going to be replaced with newer models or if they were moved to a more secure location. See the attached link for more info on the Back Gate radar sites. The only site (besides the gate itself of course) that currently appears active is the fairly new tower with microwave intrusion sensors about 3/4 mile inside the perimeter.
