The Kasta 2E radar group (NATO reporting name "Flat Face-E") is a Russian radar group, consisting of the Kasta 2E1, Kasta 2E2 and their supporting systems. The Kasta system is designed to be the successor of 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.
