Ukrainian forces destroyed the Russian Zoopark-1 radar system on the Novopavlivka front. This is one of the enemy's key systems, according to the Telegram channel of the Khortytsia operational-strategic group.

Drone pilots from the Ukrainian unit BULAVA eliminated an important and dangerous target on the front line — the Zoopark-1 radar complex, which the Russian army used for counter-battery warfare.

The drone operators tracked and successfully struck the Russian radar system hidden on the Novopavlivka front. The drone strike disabled the equipment. A video of the destruction has been shared online.

What is known

The 1L219 radar system Zoopark-1 can accurately detect the locations of artillery, mortar, and air defense launches during firing.

It is actively used to identify Ukrainian positions and coordinate fire. According to open sources, the cost of one such unit is approximately $24 million.

The destruction of this radar system is a significant blow to the enemy’s capabilities on the front line.

Russian losses in the war

The Ukrainian Armed Forces also destroyed a Russian T-72 Ural tank on the Pokrovske direction. The strike was carried out using a Nemesis drone, which disabled the tank.

Ukrainian FPV drones destroyed firing positions and shelters with Russian soldiers on the Pokrovske front, despite attempts by the Russian army to hide from Ukrainian forces.

As a result of the effective work of drones from the Ivan Franko Group unit, a significant amount of enemy equipment was destroyed in the Donetsk region, including a self-propelled artillery unit (SPA), two D-30 howitzers, and several vehicles.

We remind that Russian occupier losses amounted to 1,230 personnel in the past day.

Ukrainian forces also neutralized five tanks, four armored combat vehicles, 52 artillery systems, one multiple launch rocket system, 151 tactical-level drones, three missiles, 127 vehicles, and one special piece of enemy equipment.
