Scouts have destroyed a billion-hryvnia Russian radar complex known as ZooPark (video included).

Ukrainian scouts from the "Wings" unit, part of the Main Intelligence Directorate, have destroyed the Russian radar complex "ZooPark". The scouts targeted the radar system using four FPV drones. The value of the enemy complex is estimated at 1 billion hryvnias.

According to the press service of the GUR, the systematic destruction of such complexes significantly complicates the operations of Russian artillery, thereby strengthening Ukraine's position on the battlefield. Previously, Ukrainian defenders had destroyed the "ZooPark" in the Tavriya direction, as well as in Donetsk in May, when the HIMARS missile system struck after precise aerial reconnaissance.

"The ratio is 1:10,000. We continue the fight!" - reported the GUR.

"ZooPark-1" is a modern counter-battery reconnaissance complex capable of detecting the positions of artillery, mortars, missile systems, and air defense launch platforms, as well as adjusting the fire of its own troops. Its destruction marks another victory for the Defense Forces, who have successfully neutralized similar Russian systems before.

When and how Ukrainians destroyed Russian radars

The fighters of the "Hulk Company" destroyed an enemy reconnaissance radar complex "ZooPark" worth about 15-20 million dollars in June of last year. The Russian station, which corrects artillery fire and detects firing weapons, was identified thanks to the work of the "Falcon" aerial reconnaissance and information collected from a small drone.

Recall that at the end of April this year, Ukrainian defenders struck the latest Russian radar station "Podlyot". In particular, they targeted the antenna-feeder unit and the diesel station that powered the complex. The operation involved a group from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense "Geese-9" in collaboration with servicemen from the 15th Brigade of Artillery "Black Forest".

At the end of May this year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the Russian radar station (RLS) "Voronezh-DM" for early warning of missile attacks in the Krasnodar region. It was located near Armavir in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation and was part of the Russian early warning system for missile strikes, capable of detecting threats from as far as 6000 km away from Ukraine. Russia blamed Washington for this, threatening to use nuclear weapons.
