$24 Million Russian Zoopark-1 Radar Obliterated by Ukrainian Drones in Precision Strike

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) have destroyed a Russian 1L219M “Zoopark-1” radar system valued at over $24 million, according to footage released by the Requiem Group on April 8.

The strike was carried out in cooperation with the “Medoid ” unit of Ukraine’s SSO. The video, published on the Requiem Group’s channel, shows the moment multiple drones were used to target and destroy the concealed radar.

The Russian military had attempted to hide the advanced artillery-locating radar system in a tree line, but Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance units successfully identified its position.

According to the unit, roughly five drones were used in the operation, resulting in sustained combustion and the total destruction of the radar.

The 1L219M Zoopark-1 is a sophisticated radar system designed to detect the launch points of enemy artillery, rocket systems, and mortars by tracking projectile trajectories. The system plays a key role in counter-battery operations, making its destruction a significant tactical win for Ukraine.

Earlier, Ukraine’s 10th Mountain Assault Brigade “Edelweiss” destroyed a similar Russian counter-battery radar in the Luhansk region with drones.
