The radar, described as a core component of the S-350, can detect up to 100 airborne targets at once and simultaneously track up to eight for destruction. Its estimated value is about $130 million.
The Unmanned Systems Forces published video footage of Asgard’s combat work on its official Telegram channel.
The SBS estimated the total value of the eight destroyed systems at more than $250 million. It emphasized that the 412th Nemesis Brigade continues systematically dismantling Russia’s air defense structure, inflicting multimillion-dollar losses.
According to the SBS, the brigade has already destroyed or disabled over 50 Russian radar systems and missile launchers.
