Ukrainian forces have successfully struck a Russian S-400 air defense system’s radar in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast using a kamikaze drone, Militarnyi reported.

Russian air defense assets are priority targets for Ukraine, as destroying launchers and radars clears the way for Ukrainian drones, missiles, and allows aircraft to operate closer to the frontline.

The Come Back Alive Foundation, which supports the Ukrainian military, released a video showing the attack on the Russia radar. According to the Foundation, operators from the Flight Club 92nd unit of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade tracked down a 96L6 radar that was accompanying the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile system.

The Russian radar was spotted near a small tree line between fields. The exact date of the operation was not specified.

After determining the coordinates of the enemy radar’s location, a Ukrainian kamikaze drone was deployed to destroy it. The fixed-wing drone strike successfully disabled the radar station, effectively “blinding” the enemy’s air defense in this area, until a replacement arrives.

The Come Back Alive Foundation noted that Ukrainian defenders detected the Russian 96L6 radar and guided the kamikaze drone to it using a Shark reconnaissance drone.
