Missile units of Ukraine's Armed Forces successfully hit a Russian Nebo-M radar with ATACMS ballistic missiles. Its destruction significantly reduces the Russian army's ability to detect, track, and intercept aerodynamic, and ballistic targets.
The destruction of the Nebo-M long-range detection radar will create a favorable "air corridor" for the effective use of Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG cruise missiles.
The Nebo-M radar has been a challenging target due to its stealth features. The Russians reportedly have only 10 operating radars of this model in service, each costing over $100 million.
