The Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed a radar station of the Russians using American-made HIMARS artillery rocket strikes in the village of Lazurne, Kherson Oblast, reported the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“In Lazurne, the Ukrainian defenders have destroyed the modern Russian radar station 48Y6-K1 Podlet.”
It is reported that the Russian radar was targeted and destroyed more than 100 km from the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
