According to data from the Oryx portal, the P-18 radar is a rather rare target for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and there is one such destroyed radar so far.
The P-18 radar came in service back in 1971. This mobile 2D VHF surveillance radar station is designed to detect and track objects in the air and provide their coordinates.
Its upgraded version P-18-2 has been offered to the Russian army since 2018. The upgraded radar has a new antenna and digital signal processing equipment.
In its "basic" version, the radar can detect targets at a distance of up to 60 km (altitude 500 meters) and up to 260 km (altitude 20-27 thousand m). In the upgraded version of the radar, this indicator increased to 320 km at an altitude of 20,000 m. The upgraded version can also register up to 500 targets in automatic mode and has a significantly improved resolution.
