Fighters from Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces located and engaged a Russian Kasta-2E2 mobile radar, hitting it with the latest model of a one-way attack that was just recently accepted for service.

That’s according to the SOF Command, Ukrinform reports.

"During aerial reconnaissance, SOF drone operators located Russia’s Kasta-2E2 mobile radar, considered a state-of-the-art capability designed to control airspace and identify aerial targets, including at ultra-low altitudes," the statement reads.

For the first time, the Kasta radar was spotted on Ukraine’s territory back in 2021 – in the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk region.

"At that time, the Russians brought in equipment to counter UAVs. However, ironically, the enemy radar recently became the target precisely of SOF attack drones," the Command noted, adding that the model involved in the strike was one of the latest accepted for service with the Force.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, fighters from the Omega unit of the National Guard destroyed a Russian ammunition depot in the Kharkiv axis, using an FPV drone.
