In Russia's Kursk region, operators of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Unmanned Systems Forces struck a rare Russian Zaslon radar system on a wheeled platform, located a significant distance from the state border, according to the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Unmanned Systems Forces.
"In the Kursk region, at a significant distance from the state border, operators of the 413th Raid Battalion, part of the consolidated Dzhmil UAV unit of the 78th Separate Air Assault Regiment, struck and disabled a Zaslon radar system mounted on a wheeled platform," the statement reads.
It is noted that this is a rare modification of a naval radar complex typically installed on Russia’s newest corvettes. The system is capable of detecting targets at a distance of up to 300 kilometers, providing target designation for surface-to-air missiles, and controlling air defense and artillery fire.
According to Russian media reports from 2019, the cost of a single ship-based Zaslon radar system was approximately $46 million.
Additionally, in the Donetsk region, Raid operators struck two of Russia's newest TOS-2 Tosochka thermobaric weapon systems, which are a deep modernization of the TOS-1A Solntsepyok. The TOS-2 was adopted by the Russian Armed Forces in 2021, and the first destruction of this system in Ukraine was recorded in February 2025.
Russia’s losses in the war
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has lost over 960,000 military personnel.
In particular, just in the past day, Russian army losses amounted to 1,270 soldiers. Ukrainian forces also destroyed 14 tanks, 3 armored fighting vehicles, 71 artillery systems, 124 drones, and other enemy equipment yesterday.
