According to ArmyInform, russia’s armed forces left on their positions Credo-M1 portable battlefield surveillance radar, which had been adopted by the russian army in 2002, while running away from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The main purpose of Credo-M1 surveillance radar is to determine the coordinates of ground, surface and air moving targets and target acquisition to permit the effective employment of artillery fire. The radar has a “prohibited zone” mode, it sends an alarm signal when the boarders of this zone are crossed (seems like they didn’t use this tool).

In fact, Credo-M1 portable battlefield surveillance radar can detect a truck at the distance of 32 km, tank or armoured personnel carrier – at 16 km, person – at 6-7 km, shell explosion – at 5 km. The promised results can’t be achieved by unskilled operator. It should be noted that the russian army is currently in a shortage of such specialists.
Moreover, Credo-M1 surveillance radar has one specific characteristic. The radar weights 51 kg, that’s why it requires 2-3 people for transportation and 1 for monitoring.
According to open source data, military troops of russia started using this radars in 2014 on the East of Ukraine to control operation zones or support artillery fire.
