Photo: Voronezh-M horizon radar
On the night of May 27, reconnaissance men attacked the Voronezh-M over-the-horizon radar station. Satellite images of the aftermath were released, according to Radio Liberty.
Thus, the images show, probably, traces of fire. At the same time, as noted, the quality of the photo does not allow us to assess the degree of possible damage.
Voronezh-M
77Ya6 Voronezh is a family of Russian long-range stationary over-the-horizon radars. They are designed to detect space and aerodynamic objects, including ballistic and cruise missiles.
The family consists of stations of the meter (Voronezh-M, Voronezh-VP), decimeter (Voronezh-DM), and centimeter (Voronezh-SM) wavebands. Long-wave stations provide a long range of object detection, while short-wave stations allow for more accurate target identification.
Defense Intelligence of Ukraine's drone attacks
On the night of May 27, a Defense Intelligence of Ukraine drone hit Russia's Voronezh-M horizon radar. It is located in the city of Orsk, Orenburg region.
To do this, the drone traveled 1800 km, thereby breaking a kind of record for the distance covered to reach a Russian target. Earlier it was reported that a drone had covered 1500 km during an attack on a refinery in Bashkiria.
In early April, Ukraine attacked Russia's third-largest refinery in Tatarstan. Then the drones attacked after flying 1300 km from the front line.
