Russia's Artillery-Finding Systems Decimated by Strikes and Drones: Western Intel
Russia has lost at least six hard-to-replace Zoopark-1M counter-battery radar systems that have played a critical role in helping its forces find and destroy Ukrainian artillery. Western intelligence believes that Moscow may only have a few left in the fight. These systems are vulnerable to being detected and destroyed because they have an active electromagnetic signature. Both Ukraine and Russia are prioritizing the restoration of their counter-battery radar fleets, but Russia will likely struggle to do so because of sweeping sanctions targeting Russia by the international community that have disrupted its supply of advanced electronics needed to work the systems.
