In a destructive turn of events, another Podlet radar system was reported to have been destroyed in April of this year. This valuable piece of technology, worth an estimated £4 million, belonged to Russian leader Vladimir Putin and was located in the occupied Crimean Peninsula. It is said that Ukraine was responsible for the attack, strategically targeting the radar station known as 48Y6-K1 Podlet near the village of Kotovske on Thursday.
The significance of this radar cannot be understated, as it plays a crucial role in the Kremlin's military operations. Designed to detect air targets at extremely low altitudes in difficult interference environments, the Podlet is a key component in Russia's air defense systems, specifically the S-300 and S-400. Ukraine's military intelligence service confirmed this, stating that the Podlet provides target designations for these advanced systems.
According to reports, the cost of the Podlet is estimated to be around £4 million. This high price is attributed to its modern technologies, including solid-state receiving and transmitting modules, a multiprocessor computer system, high-speed digital exchange channels, and fiber-optic communication lines. However, despite its sophisticated design, the Podlet was no match for Ukraine's efforts to disrupt Russia's military capabilities.
In addition to the attack on the Podlet, Ukraine also targeted another valuable piece of Russian infrastructure in occupied territory - a radar station of the Buk-M3 surface-to-air missile system in Zaporizhzhia. This is the second such attack in just one week, highlighting Ukraine's determination to dismantle Russia's military capabilities. The Buk-M3 system, a newer version of the Soviet-era Buk systems family, is capable of intercepting aerial targets, including tactical ballistic missiles, at a range of up to 40 miles.
In a bold move, Ukraine's military also struck the Atlas oil depot in Russia's Rostov region, causing a major fire in the early hours of the morning. The military stated that Atlas is a part of the Russian military-industrial complex, supplying petroleum products to the Russian army. This attack further showcases Ukraine's efforts to target high-value infrastructure and technological assets in occupied territories, as part of their ongoing efforts to break down Russia's military capabilities.
Overall, the destruction of another Podlet radar system and the targeting of other valuable assets in occupied territories demonstrate Ukraine's commitment to defending their sovereignty and disrupting Russia's military operations. It remains to be seen how Russia will respond to these attacks and what impact they will have on the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
