After the Ukrainian strikes.

29.05.2024

Over the past couple of months, Ukraine has disabled three of Russia’s strategic radar systems.

The other day, Ukrainians hit the Voronezh-M radar of the Russian Armed Forces at a distance of 1,800 km, breaking the next record for attack range.

Three conclusions can be drawn from what is happening, says military journalist Sergei Auslender.

First, the attack on the Voronezh-M was proof that Ukraine really managed to increase the range of its UAVs to 2,000 km. The stations that were hit could not fix the drones, as they are designed to detect targets at a higher altitude.

The second conclusion is that Ukraine “blinds” the Russian army, depriving it of the ability to record missile launches from important areas for it.

“The south and south-east direction is now blind. There is a huge radar hole thousands of kilometers away,” the journalist said.

He specified that the radar station in Armavir, struck by Ukrainian UAVs, scanned a very large part of the territories in the Eastern Mediterranean up to the coast of Morocco.

There are American aircraft carriers are there permanently. In the event of a military clash, Russia will no longer be able to track the potential launch of missiles from this direction by the Americans in the early stages.

The third conclusion is that Ukraine has begun to raise the stakes in the war with Russia.

“The Ukrainians (…) cannot deliver either a nuclear or a massive strike on Russia, which means that these raids are coordinated with the allies… Crossing the red lines, what will you do now? Well, Medvedev will write a post or Rogozin will threaten, but what are their real abilities?” Auslander shared his opinion.
