Ukrainian drone destroys Russian rare radar station in Kursk region
Ukraine's Security Service launched a drone to disable the Kasta Russian radar station in the Kursk region, the press service reports.
The Russian army has only four such systems, which makes a hit quite a hunt on a rare object.
The Russians said that it could even detect aircraft with stealth technology. But for some reason, the SSU drone was missed. The peculiarity of this radar was its ability to detect air targets at extremely low altitudes, the source explained.
On the night of September 29, a group of drones attacked the Kursk region and dropped explosives on a power station. Ukraine's Security Service disabled the electricity supply to Russia's military warehouses and five towns.
Kasta-2E2 (39N6) is a Russian mobile air surveillance radar in the low-altitude range, designed to efficiently acquire air targets in conditions of intensive clutter reflections from a background surface, local objects and weather formations.
It performs automatic detection, range, and "friend or foe" identification of various aerial targets such as aircraft, low-speed and hovering helicopters, remotely-piloted vehicles, and cruise missiles, including those flying at low and very low altitudes. Due to superior performance, the radar can acquire "stealth-technology" air targets and move objects at sea.
