The Security Service of Ukraine struck a russian Nebo-SVU very high-frequency radar in temporarily occupied Crimea. It is reported that drones, developed by SBU counterintelligence, struck the enemy radar station.
"This radar station near Armyansk monitored a 380 km section of the front, providing protection for facilities in Crimea. After the drone attack, space reconnaissance assets detected the shutdown of radar emissions from the system, rendering it unobservable," notes Army TV.

We will remind that the Nebo radar is a family of enemy meter-range radars, created in two variants - for the ground forces and the air defense forces.
The Nebo-SV series is designed for ground forces. The Nebo-SVU version is a modernized three-coordinate station with a detection range for fighter jets at an altitude of 20 km up to 380 km and at an altitude of 500 m up to 65 km. The station's deployment time is no more than 30 minutes.
The system is constructed for automatic detection, coordinate measuring and tracking of air objects, including strategic and tactical aviation, subtle targets (based on stealth-technology as well), class identification, defining their state ownership, direction finding active noise interference sources, delivery of the radar data.
Remind that throughout this month the Ukrainian Defense Forces have struck enemy over-the-horizon radar stations several times.
