Reliable enough to start your morning with. Toast it again tomorrow.
Summary
Ukrainian forces from the 15th Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade destroyed a rare and valuable Russian 5N63S radar station, a critical component of the S-300 and S-400 air defense systems. The radar, described as the "brain" of these systems, is used for target detection, identification, tracking, and guiding interceptor missiles. The strike was carried out after aerial reconnaissance detected the target on an active sector of the front line, with footage suggesting a precise, high-accuracy hit.

· 4 pulledUn composant rare et de grande valeur en moins pour la Russie.
Les opérateurs de reconnaissance aérienne de la brigade ont détecté la cible sur l'un des secteurs actifs de la ligne de front avant que les forces ukrainiennes ne mènent une frappe directe.
Les images diffusées semblent montrer un impact précis, ce qui laisse supposer l'utilisation de moyens de frappe de haute précision.
Ce précieux radar permet de détecter les cibles, les identifier, les suivre et de guider les missiles intercepteurs vers les menaces entrantes.
