Drone operators of the Flight Club 92nd unit of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed forces of Ukraine hunted down a very valuable piece of weaponry in the Belgorod region – the 96L6 radar station, which is part of the S-400 surface-to-air missile system. The video of the defeat of the enemy target was released by The Come Back Alive Foundation.

In the video footage, you can see a Ukrainian kamikaze drone hitting an enemy radar. Probably, as a result of this strike, the station's valuable equipment was damaged, which actually makes the entire S-400 SAM system’s battery "blind". The reconnaissance of this target was carried out by the Ukrainian Shark unmanned aerial system by Ukrspecsystems company. In particular, 25 such unmanned aerial systems were purchased by the The Come Back Alive Foundation as part of a joint project with the network of gas stations "OKKO" called "An eye for an eye".

The position of the affected enemy radar was geolocated by OSINT specialist EjShahid - it is located southeast of the village of Tomarovka in the Yakovlev district, approximately 26-27 km from the border with Ukraine.

Previously, the Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported about the work on the position of the enemy's S-400 SAM system. In this case, it is about the destruction of an enemy asset in the Kursk region as a result of a joint operation of the 413th Separate Battalion of Unmanned Systems "Raid" as well as the Jmil (Engl. – Bumblebee) combined detachment of unmanned systems of the 78th Separate Airborne Assault Regiment.
