The Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the radar station of the Russian occupiers' S-400 air defense system

The Ukrainian Defense Forces hit a radar station of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system of Russian troops on the territory of the aggressor country. The strike took place on the night of November 24 in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.

This was officially announced by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Earlier, a video from near Kursk, where the "cotton" was seen at night, was posted online.

According to the military, units of the missile forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces, launched a group strike on the positions of the enemy's anti-aircraft missile division in the Kursk region.

It is subordinated to the 1490th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment of the 6th Army of the Russian Federation. A successful hit on a S-400 radar station was recorded there.

It is emphasized that this unit of the Russian Armed Forces conducted combat operations in the "ground-to-ground" mode, that is, hit ground-based fixed targets.

"Such attacks by Russian invaders mostly target civilian objects and civilians in the frontline regions of Ukraine," the General Staff explained.

They added that the occupiers' military activities continue, so there will be more "cotton" to come.

As a reminder, residents of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation began complaining about explosions on the evening of November 23, claiming an alleged attack by ATACMS missiles and UAVs. Russian authorities claimed that their air defense system "shot down 34" drones over a number of regions.

The S-400 Triumph is a Russian long- and medium-range air defense missile system adopted by the Russian Armed Forces in 2007. The radar station is part of the SAM and operates in the X-band (8-12 GHz), with a maximum range of air targets detection of up to 300 km. The antenna array is made using AFAR technology, which provides high resolution and the ability for the enemy to quickly scan the airspace. The station is integrated into the overall control and monitoring system, so it can work together with other radar stations in the complex. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the Defense Forces have already hit more than one radar for Russian S-300/400 air defense systems.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, The Wall Street Journal published a map of Russian military facilities that could be potential targets for Ukrainian strikes with ATACMS missiles. Among them are airports, ammunition depots, and Russian army headquarters.
