The first strike was carried out by operators of the brigade’s Baton strike drones. The unmanned aerial vehicle hit the Irbis radar station, damaging the system.
After the initial attack, a passenger car arrived near the damaged radar. According to the Ukrainian unit, the vehicle was likely carrying russian personnel tasked with repairing the equipment.
The Khyzhak operators then launched a second attack, targeting the damaged radar station again. The strike also hit the vehicle positioned nearby.
The Irbis is a mobile radar system, and its deployment on a KamAZ chassis allows it to be transported by road. Mobile radar stations support battlefield surveillance by detecting and tracking potential aerial threats, making them important assets for russian forces.
