The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) officers who work in the hotspots of the line of contact in Zaporizhzhia Oblast tracked down and adjusted fire on a Russian Kasta-2E2 long-range radar station.

Details: The cost of such a radar station, depending on the configuration, starts at US$60 million.
In fact, this radar was the “eyes” of the entire section of the Russian air defence network that controlled Ukrainian airspace. The Russian forces kept the radar hidden behind the front lines, carefully disguised it and often redeployed it, the special service said.
However, military counterintelligence officers from the SSU’s 13th Intelligence Department managed to track down the radar and direct fire at it to destroy the station.

Quote: “Donations from Ukrainians helped us do this. After all, this set of equipment for reconnaissance and tracking enemy radars (a ground station for UAVs, a minibus, laptops, power and communication) was purchased by the Come Back Alive Foundation at the expense of volunteer contributions and handed over to the SSU unit that hunts for radars.
Various units of the Security Service of Ukraine have destroyed a total of 166 Russian air defence systems and 446 pieces of electronic warfare, electronic and radio intelligence equipment on the line of contact since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.
We are grateful to every Ukrainian who joins in and helps our defenders!”
