Ukraine Destroys Russia’s “Lena” and “Sopka-2” Radars in Deep Drone Strike

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) have carried out precision drone strikes against two Russian radar installations—identified as the P-14F “Lena” long-range detection system and the “Sopka-2” tracking radar complex—in Russia’s Voronezh region.

According to the official Telegram channel of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the two radar systems were located near the villages of Buturlinivka and Garmashivka.

Both stations were part of Russia’s integrated airspace surveillance network designed to monitor activity along the Ukrainian border and to provide coverage over nearby military airbases.

The P-14F “Lena” radar was part of the airspace control system surrounding the Buturlinivka airbase, which hosts Russian Air Force assets operating in western Russia.

The “Sopka-2” complex, located in Garmashivka, was an element of Russia’s continuous radar chain aimed at detecting and tracking low-flying targets, including unmanned aerial vehicles.

According to the SSO, both radar systems had been deployed to counter Ukrainian drone operations.

Earlier, Ukrainian Special Operations Forces reportedly struck the Russian Buyan‑M class missile corvette Grad in Lake Onega, deep inside Russia’s Karelia region. According to the SSO, the drone attack hit the starboard engine compartment, critically damaging the ship’s maneuverability.
