The most effective way to undermine military power: the Armed Forces hunt for the radars of the Russian Federation - the media

According to Rand Analytical Center, James Black, if you disable Russian radar, it threatens paralysis of the Russian chain of command. Ukraine is looking for Russian radar systems that prevent the Armed Forces from moving unnoticed on the front line. The authors of Newsweek write about it, noting this trend in the rear of the enemy.

Experts surveyed by journalists consider such a strategy quite justified, since in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is the advantage in the number of personnel. In recent months, reports of successful strikes on Russian radar systems, including the Battery System "Zoo" worth $ 10 million have been published. In mid -July, the United Kingdom estimated that only a small part of the zoos that Russian troops moved to Ukraine remain in use.

At the end of August, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced the destruction of the unique radar "Predel-e" in the Kherson region. On November 20, it was reported that two Russian radars in the Kursk region were affected. The Armed Forces also, apparently, captured one Russian radar. Now the radar system "Neva" is used to track the movement in the Black Sea.

According to James Black, Deputy Director of the Rand's Research and Security Research and Security Group, has recently appeared a "significant number" of reports on the strikes of Ukraine on Russian radar systems. According to him, Ukraine seems to focus on these systems, attracts special purpose and HIMARS for this purpose. The United States also put high-speed anti-radiolocation missiles AGM-88 Harm. It became known in August last year.

According to Ivan Stupak, the SBU Exophitzer, it is very important for Ukraine to find Russian radars scattered throughout the occupied territory. The mission of Kyiv to eliminate the radars of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will continue in the next weeks and months, he explained in an interview with journalists. The destruction of radar equipment is not so loud as the destruction of artillery and other large military facilities.

"Both Ukrainian and Russian sources are not paying too much attention to the radar," said Marina Myron, a researcher at the Faculty of Military Studies of the Royal College of London. This is a clear meaning in terms of Ukraine, which resists more forces, and without preference in the air. In the Russian Federation, it was enough time to prepare their defense, install mine barriers, trenches, fences, etc. , in such circumstances, Ukrainians seek any advantages for themselves, Black explained.

Since it is necessary to hide on which site the forces are concentrated, "deteriorating Russian sensory capabilities" and disguising any hints at what is being made on the front line. According to the speaker of the Armed Forces Alexander Plan, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as a rule, does not accommodate radars alone, they are often related to counter -backers or air defense systems. "Perhaps this is the most effective way to reduce Russian potential," Black explained.

"If you can fail, Kremlin commanders will be much more difficult to make the right and quick decisions, it can lead to confusion and possibly paralysis in the Russian chain of command," the analyst explained, adding that Russian radar installations are not interchangeable. Each C-400 installation costs about $ 200 million, said Sidhart Kausal from the London Analytical Center "Royal Institute of Joint Services".
