In just one night, the following russian equipment was destroyed:
- a 9A83 launcher from the S-300V air-defense missile system that was on combat duty;
- two expensive 1L125 Niobium-SV radar stations.
The Niobium-SV radar station is designed to detect aerodynamic and ballistic targets, identify them, and determine the sources of active jamming. Its operational range extends from 5 to 500 kilometers, with a maximum detection altitude of 65 kilometers.
The radar can simultaneously monitor the movement of up to 300 targets.
As noted by the Defense Intelligence, such strikes significantly reduce russia's ability to control the airspace over Donbas and create conditions for new air operations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Earlier Defense Express reported that Ukraine's Special Operations Forces had hit russian Shahed storage hub in Crimea with the FP-2 drones.
