Ukraine has destroyed a cutting-edge Russian Podlet mobile radar station in Lazurne, Kherson Oblast, Odesa regional administration spokesperson Serhiy Bratchuk said in a Telegram post on July 19.
“Ukrainian (artillery) strike destroyed an ultra-modern Russian radar,” said Bratchuk.
“It was 48Ya6-K1 Podlet – a mobile triangulating low-altitude circular scan radar, capable of tracking low-flying targets.”
According to Bratchuk, these radars used to guide S-300 and S-400 anti-air defense systems.
“Most importantly, the target was struck more than 100 kilometers beyond Ukrainian positions,” he added.
A Russian staging area near the Antonivsky Bridge in Kherson Oblast was hit by a long-range Ukrainian strike on July 19. According to Kherson regional official Serhiy Khlan, the attack left Russian forces in the area disoriented.
“It was 48Ya6-K1 Podlet – a mobile triangulating low-altitude circular scan radar, capable of tracking low-flying targets.”
Look like this heap of junk couldn’t track anything, yet another piece of military hardware that Russia can take off the export list.

Of course, I’d love to know what artillery system and what round was used for this remarkable strike, although I know it’s a secret. Anyhow, what a great job!
