Critical Element C-400: ATACMS Broken Broken Russian RLS "Tombstone"

The loss of this radar, Western analysts noted, undermines the opportunities of the Russian Federation to identify and destroy air threats at considerable distances. Because the radar is able to detect targets at a distance of up to 300 km. The Ukrainian defense forces successfully neutralized the 64H6 (Tombstone or "tombstone" by NATO classification), which is a key component of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems C-300 and C-400.

This blow, made using high -precision ATACMS missiles, has become a serious blow to Russian air defense. About it writes Army Recognition. The destruction of enemy radar was made possible by the supply of Western long -range systems and permission granted by partners of Ukraine. Analysts point out that the loss of an element such as a "tombstone" radar is undermines of Russia's capabilities to identify and destroy air threats at considerable distances.

The fact is that 64n6e is an intelligence radar and target with a phased antenna lattice operating in the S-band. The station was specially designed for the detection of aerodynamic and ballistic goals at a distance of up to 300 kilometers, which enables the S-300 and C-400 system to respond to threats long before their approximation. Moreover, the radar is able to track up to 100 goals at the same time, including fighters, winged missiles and ballistic shells.

The key feature of 64H6 is the ability to quickly and accurately scan the airspace, providing high resistance to radio electronic suppression. And the mobile platform makes it possible to quickly deploy a radar in changing combat. Experts emphasize that for Russian S-300/C-400 systems, the loss of 64H6E means deprivation of their main source of data on the air situation.

Without this, the radar of the system becomes practically "blind", which significantly reduces their ability to effectively protect objects from air attacks. Moreover, the loss of such a complex and expensive radar as 64H6 creates considerable difficulties for the Russian military, since replacing the system requires large resources, time and logistics coordination. On the contrary, this success is an important tactical victory for Ukraine.

By reducing the efficiency of Russian air defense equipment, Ukrainian troops were able to use more actively drones, missiles and aviation to strike strategically important purposes. The loss of such a complex and expensive radar as 64H6 creates considerable difficulties for the Russian military. Replacing the system requires large resources, time and logistics coordination.

Prior to the restoration of the complete air defense coverage in the area, Russian facilities remain more vulnerable to attacks. In addition, the loss of 64H6 undermines the overall stability of the air defense system, violating its ability to cope with numerous threats. We will remind, in October the Ukrainian military impressed the enemy radar station "Sky-M".
