Ukrainian military destroyed a long-range radar system in the Russian Bryansk region that controlled the sky up to 700 km deep into Ukraine, sources say to RBC-Ukraine.
The Ukrainian defense forces destroyed the upgraded Nebo-U complex, which helped Russians detect Ukrainian weapons and supported bombers attacking Ukrainian border positions.
The cost of the radar system is $100 million. According to sources, the complex was hit by seven kamikaze drones of aircraft type.
At the same time, sources confirmed that the Nebo-U complex is no longer operational and likely turned into a sieve.
The destruction of this radar system reduces the Russian army's ability to detect aerial targets along the northern border of Ukraine. Radar blindness will help Ukrainian troops conduct reconnaissance, launch drones, and use army aviation more effectively in this area.
Sources stated that this is the second Nebo-Uv complex destroyed by the 13th Directorate of Military Counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine. The first one was destroyed in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation. Also, recently, the Kasta-2E2 radar complex near the temporarily occupied Ukrainian city of Berdyansk was destroyed.
