The 35N6 Kasta radar was located in the operational area of Ukraine’s 43rd Infantry Division. It was identified by aerial reconnaissance teams of the Artillery Brigade, which confirmed its location and transmitted the coordinates to higher command. With mission approval, the attack was carried out using precision-guided munitions linked to the U.S.-supplied HIMARS system.
These munitions are designed to neutralize enemy equipment by detonating above the target and dispersing thousands of tungsten balls. The shared video shows one of the two missiles exploding just above the radar. The complex consisted of two military vehicles, which were severely damaged.

It is believed that key radar components, such as the antenna, electronic systems, and internal equipment, were irreparably destroyed. The exact location and date of the attack have not been disclosed, but it has been confirmed that the radar was detected by a drone provided by Ukrainian donors.
The 35N6 Kasta is a mobile two-coordinate radar system used for airspace monitoring, target detection, and aircraft identification. Its structure includes:
- Antenna and electronic modules mounted on military trucks
- Redundant power stations and a remote control console, which can be deployed up to 300 meters away
- The success of this operation reinforces the effectiveness of Ukrainian artillery on the battlefield and weakens Russia’s surveillance capabilities in the region.

Other Successful Strikes
This was not the first attack against Russian surveillance systems. Recently, Ukraine’s Hart Brigade Falcon unit also destroyed a Murom-M long-range monitoring system near Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region.
