The Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Russian radar system Nebo-M with ATACMS missiles. It is quite challenging to hit it.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports:
"Units of the missile forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully struck the Russian radar station Nebo-M with ballistic missiles ATACMS," the message states.
According to the military, its destruction significantly reduces the ability of the Russian army to detect, track, and intercept aerodynamic and ballistic targets.
"The destruction of the radar Nebo-M will create a favorable "air corridor" for the effective use of cruise missiles Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG," the General Staff noted.
The Nebo-M radar is a very complex target to hit, operating in stealth mode, scanning the horizon for aerial objects.
According to available information, the Russian forces has only 10 operational systems of this type left, each valued at over $100 million.
