Today, July 20, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a series of targeted strikes on key elements of the Russian air defense in the Belgorod region. As a result of the operation, the S-300P anti-aircraft missile system and the Nebo-M radar complex were destroyed, which significantly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Russian air defense systems in this direction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported by the press service<\/a> of the General Staff.<\/p>\n

It is noted that the first target of the Ukrainian strikes was the S-300P anti-aircraft missile system, which plays an important role in the Russian air cover system to a depth of up to 150 km. The successful destruction of the complex means a significant reduction in the area of coverage by enemy air defenses in this border region, which creates windows of vulnerability for Russian military facilities.<\/p>\n

The second target was the modern Russian radar complex “Nebo-M”, which is designed to detect air targets at long distances, including low-visibility objects.<\/p>\n

It is reported that the destruction of this station had a critical impact on its functionality. At the same time, the neighboring 5N66M “Big Bird” radar station, which worked in conjunction with “Nebo-M”, was also damaged, which led to a general decrease in the level of situational awareness of the enemy in the air.<\/p>\n

“Such coordinated strikes are part of a consistent strategy – to disable critically important systems that support the functioning of the Russian military machine and contribute to aggression against Ukraine,” the General Staff emphasized. <\/p>\n
