The servicemen of the Main Intelligence Directorate successfully struck three radar stations in occupied Crimea. This was reported by the press service of the Ukrainian intelligence on Saturday, November 30.
It is noted that on November 29, the scouts carried out successful strikes on expensive radar systems of the Russians on the occupied peninsula. As a result of the operation, Ukrainian fighters targeted the radar system “Kasta-2E2” and two “Podlet” radar systems. The GUR added that the fire operations against the military facilities of the Russian occupiers are ongoing.
Characteristics of RLS “Kasta-2E2” and “Podlet”
The radar station 39N6 “Kasta-2E2” – is a Russian mobile low-altitude three-coordinate radar station operating in the decimeter wavelength band with a circular surveillance mode. It is designed for airspace control, determining coordinates, and recognizing aerial targets, particularly at extremely low altitudes. The radar station consists of: hardware and antenna vehicles, a diesel generator, and a cable laying trailer – all based on KamAZ-4310.
The radar station 48Y6-K1 “Podlet” – is a Russian universal mobile solid-state three-coordinate radar station with a phased array antenna for circular surveillance and detection of aerial targets at low and extremely low altitudes in complex environments with interference. The station is made up of an antenna post, a command vehicle, and an electric generator – all mounted on KamAZ chassis. The complex is designed to provide target designation for S-300, S-400 air defense systems, and similar systems. The first “Podlet-K1” radar systems were introduced into the Russian air defense forces in 2015.
Additionally, on November 29, the GUR reported that they had destroyed the expensive Russian radar complex “ZooPark-1,” valued at over 20 million dollars. For this operation, the fighters used four FPV drones.
