According to official information, on the night of March 15, Ukrainian units hit the 59N6-E "Protivnik" and 73E6 "Parol" radar stations in the Lybknechtivka area. These systems are used by Russian troops to detect air targets.
The destruction of a launcher of the S-400 "Triumf" anti-aircraft missile system near the settlement of Dalne has also been confirmed. The extent of the damage is currently being clarified.
The General Staff also reported that after the strike on March 10 on the "Valdai" radar complex in the Primorsky area, its significant damage was confirmed.
