Russian radar station Nebo-M (wikipedia.org)
The Ukrainian Defense Forces have successfully struck a Russian Nebo-M radar station. Targeting this system is notably challenging, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' missile forces successfully hit the Russian Nebo-M radar station with ATACMS ballistic missiles," the statement reads.
According to military sources, its destruction significantly diminishes the Russian army's ability to detect, track, and intercept aerodynamic and ballistic targets.
"The destruction of the Nebo-M radar will create a favorable 'air corridor' for the effective use of Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG cruise missiles," the General Staff added.
