The armed forces of Ukraine launched, on July 20, an offensive against Russian air defense systems located in the Belgorod region, Russian territory near the border.

According to the Ukrainian General Staff, the action resulted in the destruction of an S-300P missile system and hit a Nebo-M radar station, also compromising a 5N66M radar nearby.

According to Ukrainian military sources, the attacks significantly reduced Russia’s ability to protect troops, supply routes, and strategic structures in the area. Authorities emphasize that these actions are part of an ongoing effort to weaken Moscow’s military capacity, especially concerning attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure.

The Ukrainian government has not disclosed which weapons were used in the operation but reiterated that it will continue conducting offensives until the Russian occupation ends, the country’s territorial integrity is restored, and lasting peace is achieved.
